General Comment:Hello my Name is Enrique I have been smoking for 5 years and before e-cigs was unable to quit. I been smoke free for 4 moths and have not felt healthier physically in a long time. Am able to be more productive at work ,stop taking cigarette breaks (many times to calm the crave rather than actually taking a brake) witch has make me a more productive and positive influence at my workplace. I had not had a stress moment do to nicotine addiction because am able to vape gradually and as i need it without wasting time looking for a time to leave my workplace. I was in my local university at a study room reading a book,when to use my e-cig (I purposely sat away from anybody with a good five food distance so as to not disturb anyone). Then a woman from ACROSS the room points me out with a laud voice, saying and i quote " Would you mind not not polluting this room with your harmful smoke". I replied; Mean am sorry if offended you with my vape but please do not refer it as harmful because i can asureyou nothing in this smoke contains harmfullchemicals. She replied saying that she has severe case of asmas and that nothing good can come from atobaco product but cancer and heath-problems. I replied saying that i will stop if this make enybody unconstable but place do not give the wrong information about what this product without doing the proper research.Someone in the room replied saying that nicotine is present in that device witch "CAUCES CANCER AND MAKES IT A TABACO PRODUCT'(nikotine is a drug used my pharmasis in medicasion like nikotine patches and pills and is a family of stimulants witch as used in many medicines, a drug is NOT a toxin so nicotine alone does not causes cancer (tabaco with comtains nikotine as will as other thousand harmfull toxing causes cancer. The lady repliedagain that if i continued to use was going to call secururity to scord me away. I replied ,there is no need i will be on my way but please learn about my product before making harmfull acusation to the reputation of the device that change my life for the better. To close my statement i feel upset and critisice against for someone with a close minded attitude do not only imbarrece me in from of a croud but gave every person in the room a wrong inpresion of a device that is not more harmfull than a can of cocacola.  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.
