General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

Regarding:  FDA Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491
Please extend the comment period for the Proposed Rule for an additional 180 days.  So that individuals such as myself and the groups that we belong to can effectively respond to this major proposal.

I do not believe that I ever would have been able to stop smoking without the aid of e-cigarettes, and I suspect that the current backlash against this technology has more to do with entrenched powers losing money than the health of myself or other Americans.

“Our Side” does not have the money or the influence that the big boys do, but I ask that you at least give us time to try and respond.

Thank you
Shawn Regan
