General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:
     I am writing to request an extension to the comment period in regard to the Food and Drug Administrations 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 raises many significant issues that need careful consideration as they are important and very meaningful to me. I request that the comment period be extended for 105 in addition to the current 75 day period for a total of 180 days. The Food and Drug Administration took many months to draft the Proposed Rule. I do not feel that it is too much to ask for an extension to the comment period. This is necessary in order to provide a clear, concise and intelligent response. This subject is very important to me and it requires serious consideration by the Food and Drug Administration. The potential for significant health benefits to the public is of the utmost importance.
     I strongly believe that e- cigarettes have contributed to benefitting my quality of life and have the potential to do the same for millions of other people. Not just for people in the United States but globally. All it requires is someone to step to the forefront of the matter and to carefully consider the science that we already possess. I hope that will be you. Thank you for your consideration on my request to extend the comment period.
