Everyone who reads these forums should feel obligated to make their voice heard. The FDA is planning to restrict your access to the products you've come to know and love, and if you sit by and do nothing that is exactly what will happen. Here is a short message I've written that you can copy and paste into your FDA comment. Include a paragraph outlining your personal story (how long you smoked, whether or not e-cigs helped you quit / reduce your tobacco use, etc) at the beginning of the comment. I think this strikes at the heart of the matter pretty well, but feel free to modify it however you see fit.
Keep bumping this guys.
--------------------------------------------------
If the proposed changes go into effect as-is, the vast majority of effective e-cigarette products will removed from the market and thousands of small businesses across the country will be shut down. As a consumer of these products - and a primary stakeholder in their continued, legal availability - I consider the proposed regulations to be completely inappropriate in their current form. For the FDA to blindly consider banning products that have the potential to save millions of American lives is not only wrong, it is irresponsible.
If FDA regulations go into effect unchanged it will create a black market for quality e-cig products, and force many law-abiding American citizens - myself included - to break the law in order to continue using these potentially life saving products. If these products are going to be regulated for the benefit of the American public, the regulations need to be based on hard evidence founded in factual science - not hearsay and the desires of Big tobacco. The proposed regulations will offer little benefit, and may have catastrophic consequences for a growing industry that employs tens of thousands of American people. I strongly encourage the FDA to perform adequate research on e-cigarettes before making an uninformed decision that will negatively impact the health and well-being of these Americans.
Please make the appropriate changes to the proposal. If you need additional information about the safety of these products, you can find many useful studies at the link I’ve provided below.
