General Comment:The current regulations that the FDA is about to impose upon e-cig users I believe is not in the interest of the consumer. Currently there is no real data to prove that there is major health issues from the usage of e-cigs. There is very little evidence to  support what is currently said against its usage. Many reports of liquid nicotine are also misleading the public saying that a drop of "ejuice" can kill a child. But in these cases that children have obtained the juices and consumed it, there should have been more responsible parents. Most e-cig vendors have labels warning that nicotine is addictive and too keep out of reach of children. It was also said that pure nicotine can kill a child, and that is true. It can also kill an adult just as easily, which is why those who have any kind of pure nicotine wear protective gloves to protect themselves from the liquid.

As far as use of ecigs go, i have been using ecigs for over a year. I smoked cigarettes for over a year and a half, and i could tell that it was effecting my health adversely. I went from running to two miles daily to having trouble running 1 - 2. It also at times cause head aches, and breathing problems. I swapped to using e-cigs and after 2 weeks i could tell my health was improving even while still using the e-cigs. After 2 months of usage I felt well enough to start running again and working out. The first time I went running I was able to run a mile and continue walking another. I still felt great after this and was not winded as I used to be.

We do have the right to have a say in what is done to the community of ecig users and we will use those rights to protest this proposal put forth by the FDA.

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.
