Comment Info: =================

General Comment: I have been tobacco free for 5 months now thanks to the availability of Nicotine in the delivery device known as a mechanical mod, which was created post 2007, to produce a superior vaping experience. I was a slave to cigarettes for 30 yrs.and tried many,many times to quit. I was prescribed Nicorette, the Patch, and Chantix. Nothing worked beyond a couple of weeks and I went back to smoking. Vaping has saved my life! The Vaping community is THE STRONGEST SUPPORT GROUP because its made up of people just like me who have tried to quit cigarettes and had no success until we switched to Vaping. Vaping is not SMOKING and is not a TOBACCO product. Nicotine as doctors have stated over and over is NOT A CARCINOGEN but a mild stimulant on par with caffeine. Should the FDA regulate ever coffee shop because they are serving "drugs" in each cup of coffee? The 3 components of e-liquid are already USDA and FDA certified a safe to consume. The 4500+ ingredients in cigarettes are not. Please allow the Vaping industry to flourish with life saving innovation. It is working and thriving right now because of the internet and by brick and mortar shops. Please listen to our success stories in quitting TOBACCO and living TOBACCO FREE, and healthy lives.
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.

Thank You,

Mack Jones ,Ex Smoker
