hello i just want to say that i am someone who smoked for 20 years, and i have now been smoke free for over a month now due to electronic cigarettes and vaping. I started with an e-cigarette and that didnt quite work for me. so i got a mod and an atomizer and after i started with the atomizers a havent had a cigarette since. I have had and continue to use alot of different strength nicotine juice in my vaporizers. I dont smoke cigarettes at all anymore. I had tried the patch, gum, chantix, wellibutrin and everything you can think of several times over without any success to quit smoking, I would always go back to smoking cigarettes if i managed to stop at all. VAPING HAS SAVED MY LIFE!! i dont believe that ecigs should be classified as a tobacco product or even placed in the same category. This is a product that is for adults, and i believe that most companies gear it towards adults. we want candy flavors and fruity flavors so that its somewhat enjoyable. If it wasnt we wouldnt do it and quit smoking cigarettes. were able to quit smoking because the flavors they have available. I think the government is focusing on a minor issue, (pun intended) instead of the big picture. If smokeless products have a tax hike like cigarettes and you take away flavored products a lot of people, myself included, will probably go back to smoking. We dont want to smoke cigarettes, or get cancer, or die a horrible death due to cigarettes. we can use the smokeless products and still get the nicotine our body craves and not have to get all of the carcinogens and extra chemicals that big tobacco add to the cigarettes. What the government is trying to due is ignorant! Theyre again only looking at one minor problem and not the big picture. That hundreds of thousands of people in the USA and millions around the world have quit smoking cigarettes due to these smokeless products, and many more as well if we give people the option to choose. Thats the real issue here. We as americans have freedoms and rights. we have the right to be able to choose whether these products are available for us to use. If you pass all of these regulations and laws, youre taking our freedoms and rights from us. Dont make decisions for the people without asking the people. Get big tobacco out of your wallets and put it to a vote. You have to give people the choice and if you dont then you are acting as a dictatorship and not a democracy! I feel better, i dont have the carcinogens, and chemicals that the cigarettes have in them into my body any longer and never will again. since Eliquids have these fruity, candy, dessert and unique flavors ive been able to stick with it, and i have had no side effects except coughing all of the tar and pollutants from smoking cigarettes for 20 years out of my lungs after not smoking cigarettes for about 2 weeks. do not take smokeless products away from us. YOU WILL BE DOING AMERICA AND THE WORLD A DISSERVICE, AND DRIVE MANY OF US BACK TO SMOKING CIGARETTES!! Thank you very much. Sincerely, Joshua Miller
