The FDA has classified E-Cigarettes as "Tobacco Products" and will now severely restrict their use. These regulations are not like those of tobacco, but instead all manufactures will be required to complete a lengthy and expensive application just for putting new products on the market. This includes Mechanical Mods, Variable Voltage, tanks, drippers,etc. Any new "Model" after 2015 will be required to complete this application. The FDA has over stepped their boundaries. E-Cigarettes cannot beclassified as a "Tobacco Product" as there is no tobacco in it. They fret about the nicotine, but there is nicotine in many plants including tomatoes. They fret about the flavors, yet allow Smirnoff Vodka to advertise candy and fruit flavors. Do not allow the FDA to take control of a lifesaving product

The director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, Mitch Zeller, testified on Capital Hill yesterday, saying that e-cigs are almost certainly healthier than tobacco. At the same time, Senator Tom Harkin, who recently put out a scathing report about e-cigs, spent most of the time during the hearing displaying remarkable ignorance about the industry.
The government’s chief tobacco regulator told Congress today that e-cigarettes are almost certainly healthier than tobacco, which much more research needs to be done, but that it needs to regulate them now anyway.
“If we could et all of those people [who smoke] to completely switch all of their cigarettes to noncombustible cigarettes, it would be good for public health,” Mitch Zeller, Director of the Food and Drug Administration Center for Tobacco Product said today at a hearing that could determine the fate of e-cigarettes in the United States.

PART I.
SUGGESTED LETTER COMMENTING ON PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT ASPECTS OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS YOU SHOULD EDIT AS APPROPRIATE
Please count up the following and insert the numbers into the comment below (which, of course, you can edit in any way you want).




- Number of different e-cigarette liquids you have purchased in the last year, counting each flavor variation, each strength, and each PG/VG mix as a different liquid. (So if you used both bubblegum and cherry flavors, and used them each in 1.8% and 2.4% strength, that would be 4).
- Number of different pieces of hardware you purchased in the last year, adding up each different model of battery, tank, atomizer, wick, etc.
- If you purchased disposables or prefilled cartridges that include both hardware and liquid, count up each different model/variety you purchased (again, counting each variation in flavor and strength separately). If you did not purchase these, just delete the sentence that refers to them.
- Estimate how many different products your favorite vendor or vendors sell. Again if you cannot do this or do not wish to, please just delete the relevant sentence.
