I'm English, but still, just posted mine. At the end of the day, we're all in this together 
Besides, what happens in America, does tend to set a trend for other countries over time.
Now there is only hope. Hope that the proposal will either be changed or if unchanged, will be rejected in part. But even if the worse happens, I really can see a reversal over time. It's just a shock to many that vaping has taken off so well, and I guess some people feel that they've lost the anti-smoking campaign. Actually they haven't. They've won, but not in the way they had expected, and not by the people they expected. It's turned out to be the very smokers themselves who have won the anti-smoking campaign. That must be hard reality to swallow.

Well said and thank you brother from across the pond!
In one of my comments I said that if the vaping industry was allowed to continue to flourish we could see the end of cigarettes in our lifetime. Wouldn't that be amazing? The smokers take their lives back and slaughter the tobacco industry!
Antony73, right now there is a gradual awakening in the U.S. to the "My way or the highway.", "We know what's best for you." attitude among our government officials is beginning to rub the general populace raw. People are finding out "It's for the children." is just a cover for corrupt governments/administrations to gain more control and to give favored businesses avenues to make more money and/or to rub out the competition.
Vaping and all it entails is just one of the many, many targets on their hit list.
Thank you for making your voice heard.

Come on people! It is easy and needs to be done!
Let's keep vaping as an option for all those now smoking.
Your voice is important!

Don't Mind?
I'd like to see this Thread Linked in a Banner on EVERY e-Cigarette Forum on the Globe.
And EVERY Vendor who Sells e-Cigarettes/e-Liquids should have this on the Top of their Web Sites. Seems like they Have Something to Lose Also.
Maybe More.
Good question, I don't know but as long as it has the case number leading your comment it will all be lumped under the same group of comments. When in doubt submit it again.
If you have more than one email address, you can submit more than once using anonymous or just make up a name!!
CASAA: STREAMLINED VERSION of Fourth Call to to Action for FDA Proposed Regulations - Submit Comment
Under 4, they give the email address. Believe me, I missed that the first time around too
Thanks Dragonpuff. I didn't know where to send it either. Done now though!
Here is the FDA form
Regulations.gov
copy/paste this at the top of your comments
From: [your name]
To: FDA Center for Tobacco Products
RE: FDA, Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0189, Regulatory Information Number (RIN) 0910- AG38
and tell them how these deeming regulations would effect you
DO IT NOW ! ! !

Done! I updated a previously written email. If you want to continue vaping and are checking out new mods instead of getting involved then don't vote either. Be apathetic about making a difference but don't whine about the end result.
STOP. WRITE. RIGHT NOW. DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT!

FDA comments - Final Call
Submissions end August 8th, 11.59pm (EST)
Dear [Popular Retailer] Customer,
The comment period for the FDAs deeming regulations ends this Friday, August 8th. We are making our voices heard here but it is imperative that the FDA hears from you, the consumers who these products have impacted!
The FDA has not attempted to analyze the size of the industry in its impact assessment, leading it to vastly underestimate the impact the regulations will have on US businesses and their customers.
As a customer you have a valuable role, you can directly submit their own experience, and this must be taken into account when the FDA issues their final rule.
Please, will you spend a few minutes today to compose your own response to the FDA? Have at look at an example write up by ECF Founder and Director Oliver Kershaw.
For your own comment, SFATA have issued an excellent guide for industry submissions: SFATA | FDA Guidance, Electronic Cigarette Association and the link to the comment page on regulations.org is here.
Many thanks for being a valued customer, with your support we hope to continue to change peoples lives, and create good American jobs.
Thank you for your time,
The whole [Popular Retailer] Family!

It is Nice that at least This Retailer has sent out an e-Mail regarding the End of the FDA Comment Period.

SilverHawk, you can write as many as you want. You are not limited to just one! Pick a subject that just irks you about the Deeming Regulations and expound on why, i.e. flavors. I picked the seeming collusion between government and big businesses.

My latest comment to the FDA:
FDA Personnel,
We would all appreciate it if you stop saying that you know nothing about electronic cigarettes, and are "unaware" of any studies pertaining to their safety and patterns of use. I and several others have submitted many scientific studies to the FDA via these comments. We know that you are required to read each comment, and so you will see each and every study sent to you. Since you now have direct access to a wealth of knowledge regarding these devices, you may no longer use blatant ignorance as an excuse for unnecessary and biased attempts at regulation.
Kind Regards,
An Ex-Smoker
And I'm not done yet! It's not over til it's over!!
