Lavacorps,
Just to reiterate my bud 7less7's comment....
My post to Regulations.gov:
"I must say that the portions of this document pertaining to the sale of electronic cigarettes are ludicrous at best. This industry is thriving completely on its own merit and has an extremely large consumer basis, of which I am one, who are very open with the sharing of information, thus creating a quality check system for all electronic cigarette vendors that functions completely on its own.
I am one of thousands that has used electronic cigarettes to quit the devastating vice that is smoking tobacco. Since quitting cigarettes and vaping in its place, my physician has been thoroughly astounded by the immense changes in my physical health. I was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis not long before quitting, and it has now cleared up entirely. My newly regained lung capacity thanks to electronic cigarettes has truly been a godsend, not to mention I can smell and taste again.
I understand the need for quality control and a competitive market, thus I am highly suggesting that portions of this bill be re-written. According to the CEO of Smoke-Free Pennsylvania, on a scale of harm where cigarettes are a 100 and other forms of smoking cessation (including but not limited to nicotine patches and gum) are a 1, electronic cigarettes would not rank more than a 2.
Part of the reason so many of us have been able to easily transition to vaping is with the help of online vendors who have already implemented their own age verification (18+) systems. In addition, many would not have been able to fully quit nicotine using vaping, or begin vaping for harm reduction purposes and never touch another cigarette if it were not for the variation of strengths and flavors available to us. I'm sure I speak for thousands when I say that limiting our choices in such an area is not only harmful to this thriving industry, but will cause a massive decline in the amount of people who are able to successfully quit using e-cigs.
Please make the right decision. You will be saving countless lives."
