General Comment:Vaping has changed my life. I began smoking at 18, and I would have been heading down a slippery slope to all types of smoking-related health problems if I had not discovered vaping. I am one of the fortunate few who escaped smoking within just a few years of beginning, and that is all due to vaping. It's often said that quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do. It is, without a doubt. But, thanks to vaping, whenever I get the urge to smoke, I vape. Vaping saves me and those around me from all kinds of carcinogens. Vaping is saving my life and the lives of those I love to be around. 

Nicotine is not a carcinogen. It is a stimulant, yes, but so is caffeine, which is not regulated with such harsh measures as the ones proposed for 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.
