In the context of this thread, this is a procedural detail. Your conflating the procedural comment period with "there will be no regulation" is incorrect and asinine.

The longer the better. I imagine it will be a very long comment and discussion period. They will probably wait for more studies and medical research. By then, e-nic will be everywhere- at least the new devices made and sold by tobacco companies. They will conduct media campaigns and vaping may well become mainstream, or at least everyone with a tv or radio will know about it. A lengthy period will definitely benefit vapers.
The best outcome would be for e-nic to be classified in its own category- away from that of being a tobacco product, as an Ohio lawmaker is trying to do.

Agreed. I would think that the Longer the Period the Better.
More Scientific Studies and Opinions could be Collected. But also more Common Acceptance of e-Cigarette use as Viable HRT.
Mr. Zeller has made some comments that e-Cigarettes should be Judged as a New Technology. Hopefully he will follow thru with this type of Thought.
you do it just like guns. You sell legal gun. You sell all the mods to make said legal gun illegal.
You sell mods with a flashlight on the end. You sell the 510 connection separately. You sell different heads for the flashlights. You sell the batteries. You sell the tubes to make the flashlight longer. You sell different springs. In other words, you sell all the electronics separately.

Since I'll be on Guam for at least another year, if I can't order online then maybe I would have to stock up when I make trips to the Philippines apparently lol. But seriously I can order cigars and pipe tobacco, so it would be screwed up to ban online ecigs.
I had to chuckle at the bolded part. It should probably read something more like "...so the federal agency can make an informed decision based on who's in their pockets deepest and which way the government stands to make the most money from it". I guess you pretty much covered that in the next sentence about the lobbyists, though.
I'm not one who would ever use the word "altruistic" to define a politician, or our government. I have yet to see one who fits the definition.
What has always been missing is the good ole local DISTRIBUTER that goes from store to store keeping the shelves stocked, just like Pepsi & Wonder bread.
I owned my own company for many years, and nothing could eat up (waste) more of my time than sales reps. Every industry uses them (including the tobacco industry) ... except e-cigs.
Take my word for it, the day will come when the e-cig industry has to enter the real world of business in order to survive. Without distribution networks, the e-cig industry will always remain an unorganized "cottage industry" with no political clout.

I think in Many Ways this is what BT found so Enticing about e-Cigarettes.
Because they have a Structure already in place. Import/Export, Manufacturing, Distribution Networks, Ad and Media Channels, Lawyers, Lobbyist, FDA Lackeys, Policy Makers needing Campaign Money.
All BT needed was a Way to get ride of the Competition from those Pesky Non-Regulated OEM's and the All the Profits would come Rolling In.
I'm sure they do, that's why you see so many different manufactures using the same chip sets for example.

Why can't someone smart combine the fully featured 33.3hz you see in VW/VV chinese clones with the military-grade style 800hz chip the Provari boasts?
I hope there's more technological collaboration in the future because I'd hate to be restricted to a disposible 90mah "prescription cigarette" at the Pharmacy if Big Pharma & FDA get their way.

Why the necessity to Label?
Perhaps you should take a look at changes in the American way of life over the past 50 years.
I'm using prohibition loosely, as in, they'd be prohibiting what Americans can do freely. Prohibition is not JUST a term for a time in history, it's also an English word.
But thanks for trying to put words into my mouth.
Not trying to start a fight Diet.
Maybe My Definition of Prohibition as being making something Illegal to Sell was not the Meaning you wanted to convey?
I'm sure item 1 on the legislation will somehow give BT & BP exclusive rights to manufacture and sell "legal" e cigs. Items 2 - 4,323 will be new tax laws and emigration policies 
going to be difficult if not impossible to ban all on line sales. If theres a ban in one nation (U.S or U.K) how would they stop customers from buying from Hong Kong or Philippines or China and Japan etc.? I too live in rural area without the brick & mortar choices. I am doing some smallish stock pile of eJuice; but remain optimistic. I think as long as Im willing to pay S&H and willing to endure longer delivery time Itll be alright.
The government could place an import ban on the products, but I think that could even be circumvented by simply calling the products by a different name on the invoices. Just my
