Submitted. I'm also going to ask my friends and family to submit a statement about how happy they are that I quit smoking.
Signed, sealed, delivered!
Are there places where posts made from ECF members can be viewed?

No, not specifically, except for those that have posted their comments on the many thread here in this forum.
But all comments, from whatever source, should be available for viewing on the website where the comments were posted.
Unfortunately, it seems to take them a VERY long time to moderate them and make them available for viewing.
Big gov't always is... some would like to get it back to being smaller.

its was "why is the govt in our faces lately."

I really hated using my real name, but it's for a good cause.

Im not from ur country, but I submitted one anyway. Here is a snippet:
It is not reasonable, rational, or practical to expect everyone to quit tobacco smoking without serious and real assistance. Until recently, there has been none. E-cigs represent the most potent tool in that toolbox to date, by far.
Anything less than widely promoting their use as a means of stopping tobacco smoking, is honestly ensuring the deaths of millions and should represent to any fair minded person, a deeply troubling and disturbed ethical wrong.
As for the safety - its well known nicotine alone does have some more minor health effects (though the nicotine absorbed into the system, from a ruyan ciggarette via studies conducted here in new zealand, were around half -per puff, than that of tobacco smoking - and also much less than the nicotine inhaler).
These minor effects are completely dwarfed by tobacco combustion products - scientists have estimated in one study, that the health effects/risks are roughly one thousanth of that of smoking.
Given the potent addiction of tobacco smoking, e-ciggarettes represent the only rational and objective way to tackle the smoking health epidemic. Anything else represents a vast misunderstanding of the realities of smoking.

In my comment I noted that I do not intend to quit using nicotine. NRT is Nicotine REPLACEMENT Therapy. This is an ongoing need, not something you use for a few weeks like a patch. If it's medicine, the usual policy is not to tax it.
Thank you for this! I submitted my comments today. Looks like only 635 comments to date. Not near enough, c'mon folks only 4 days left, please contribute!
Oh my! I just refreshed the page and it says 1,218 comments. They must have just released a slew. Yay!
I can't read through ALL the comments, but I have a question. I am sending in submission now, but it asks the organization, what do I put in that field? ECF?
look for "individual consumer" it's at, or close to, the bottom of the list on the dropdown box
I knew I had read it I just had forgotten by the time I was done with my document LOL Thanks CES

here is part of what I wrote
I have previously tried every quit plan in the books to stop smoking with no success at all. This includes the patch , gum, chantix and wellbutrin.All these things did was to make me pissy, eat more and honestly want to smoke more.
Using e - cigarettes has made me a healthier person. I quit smoking regular cigarettes altogether. I hardly ever cough now and I used to have a serious smoker cough. I no longer weeze like I used too. I can run up down steps and have a ton more energy. My taste buds are coming back. This is all because of the positive effects of using NRT
