General Comment:Hello,

I started smoking cigarettes when I was 16 yrs old.  I have tried everything to quit smoking including the patch, chantix, just laying them down only to return to the dreaded cigarettes that controlled my life and the life of so many friends and family.  My parents both developed lung cancer and passed away due to the disease.  Yes, they were both smokers.  

After 30 years of smoking with countless attempts to quit, I was introduced to the electronic cigarette world.  The first day I starting vaping, I laid the analogs down, never to look back.  I have never wanted to smoke another cigarette again because I get what I need from vaping.  We as former smokers of cigarettes want the nicotene not all of the other 4000 + chemicals that are found in cigarettes.  Nicotene is far less dangerous than the chemicals found in cigarettes.

This has been the only way I have been able to put the cigarettes down.  E-Cigs/pipes and liquids should not be classified as tobacco products since they DO NOT CONTAIN TOBACCO.  

Please do not drive the vaping community underground and into the Black Market.  

I will NEVER stop vaping.  

 A 75 day comment period is insufficient time for the vaping industry and the wider vaping community to comment on the proposed deeming regulations. I would respectfully request that the period for comment be extended to 180 days.
