I watched my grandmother get pumped with morphine for 5 days and die because of cigarettes! EVERY alternative out there besides E cigarettes dont work for most people. Hand mouth fixation is a huge part in trying to quit smoking. Vaping has saved my life and countless of others. I dont see the real logic in banning vaping products!  I would like to urge the FDA to support the Petition submitted by the American Association of Public Health Physicians (AAPHP) requesting the FDA to reclassify and regulate electronic cigarettes (nicotine vaporizers) as tobacco products (instead of trying to ban the products by classifying them as drugs or devices). PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE dont ban e-cigs or all nicotine and flavored vape juice.Five years ago I switched from a 50-year, on again, off again, 1 pack of cigs a day habit to vaping and dont want go go back. Ive also been able to reduce the nicotine content I vape from 16% to 4 or 0%.My husband of 30 years still smokes over 1 pack of cigs a day and I know he wont quit his 65-year habit. Hes tried every quit method available but still eventually goes back to cigs.I know if I dont have access to vaping I could easily go back to smoking. I DONT want that but its EXTREMELY hard to live with a smoker without smoking myself.History has proven prohibition doesnt work, especially with kids. People will always find a way to get their fix be it alcohol, drugs or tobacco.The government does not regulate vitamins and supplements which have also harmed people over the years. Consumers have no idea whats in those products and you let those stay on the market. Why not? I guess that lobby is too powerful and persuasive.I very much wish the US government WOULD regulate vape juice AND vitamins and supplements. I would feel better knowing just what these products contain and that they were manufactured under sanitary conditions. Right now, its a crap shoot as to what we are consuming in these completely legal, for now, products.So, again. PLEASE do not BAN all flavored or all vape products. I dont want to go go back to smoking but its practically inevitable if I cant vape. I see vaping as the lesser evil. Banning all flavored vape juice, even to adults, is overkill.According to news reports it seems the majority of illnesses and deaths are linked to black market, doctored and illegal product.PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THESE EVENTS FIRST. DONT JUMP THE GUN!! Your decision should be based on SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, NOT EMOTION OR SPECULATION - OR POLITICS.Im all for controlling whats in vape juice and prohibiting sales to minors who will, however, continue to purchase such products on the black market, just like they do other only for adults products.Unfortunately human nature is such that bans actually make banned items MORE desirable, especially to kids! Im sure you know that!So, please, make sensible rules. Let those of us who got hooked on nicotine 50+ years ago when we didnt know cigarettes were harmful, continue to have access to some flavored vape juice, I like caramel. If you ban all flavors you can be sure people will doctor juice themselves.BTW, there are hundreds of recipies for home made vape juice online and the ingredients are legal and available everywhere.If you dont regulate the manufacture of vape juice to assure its sanitary, were sure to see a spike in illness from poisoning as a result of home made juices.Ever hear of bathtub gin? People died or went blind during prohibition because of home cooked brews. Prohibition not only failed spectacularly it gave rise to a much worse evil: organized crime.So, take a bit more time to come up with a reasonable, rational plan. This is requesting that the FDA support the Petition submitted by the AAPHP instead of trying to ban ecigarettes. This comment supports allowing continued access to e-cigarettes by informed adults who are unable or unwilling to become tobacco-free. Fact:   Most of the lethality of traditional cigarettes is from the smoke not nicotine.Fact:   Nicotine addiction is difficult to overcome because of physical changes to the brain.Fact:  Current smoking cessation medications and techniques dont help everyone.Tobacco free is friction to those individuals who cant or wont break their addiction.  Some of these individuals have found e-cigarettes and in the process have decreased or eliminated their exposure to deadly smoke even if all risks are not eliminated with certainty.  As a society built upon the principles of individual rights to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness (when others are not harmed) and equal protection under the law, we should not eliminate access  by informed adults to alternatives to  frequently lethal smoke from traditional cigarettes. Where uncertainty and /or disagreements exist, the informed adult should decide provided no one else is harmed. Regulation of e-cigarettes as a tobacco product can prevent harm to others such as children and the non-addicted.  Access to e-cigarettes is the compassionate thing to do for addicted individuals whose lives and happiness in some cases literally depends upon them We have many examples of folks that have successfully stopped smoking analog cigarettes and are now using e-cigarettes exclusively, all with great health benefits.  I can show blind studies, friends of mine with COPD that went to see their physician and without the doctors awareness, the patient had quit smoking cigarettes and now only use electronic cigarettes.  The patients health was SO much better the doctor was alarmed and wanted to know more.  They asked that I bring in literature so that (the doctor) might give this information to other smokers.  By the way, my friend improved so dramatically that she no longer meets the requirements for oxygen under her health insurance plan, her numbers are too good.Wouldnt you want this to be the wave of the future, especially when we, the people, are now going to cover health care costs for anywhere from 32 to 40 million more people?  Isnt this a step in the right direction?On the street, the FDA and Big Tobacco and Big Pharmacy are getting a bad name.  It would appear you would not pass anything that doesnt put money in those pockets, including yours via sin taxes.  Is it really the public health you have at heart? I think this is ridiculous! E-cigarettes have helped me quit smoking cigarettes in about 3 days! I see no reason why they should be classified as a tobacco product. They do not have tobacco in them! Only flavorings and nicotine. I can go on and on about this but, Ill leave that up to the experts who have ACTUALLY USED A E-CIGARETTE!!!!!Thanks,Lance Seme I feel e-cigarettes should be classified as a tobacco product.  They are used in place of traditional cigarettes to deliver nicotine to the user without combustion. Classify e cigarettes as a tobacco product Signed. Please reclassify as Tobacco product.
