e-cigarette legislation

This is the first time I have ever tried to start a discussion and this is more of a get the information out there post than a true discussion so I may be doing this in the wrong place or wrong format and if so I apologize. However, I know there is a substantial group of people who believe in the benefits of vaping as opposed to smoking. With that being said, here goes :

I recently received an email that read, in part :

"Now is the Time for Action!

Help us extend the FDA comment period for e-cigarette legislation

As many of you already know, the FDA has finally decided to step in and regulate electronic cigarettes. Before any legislation is passed, however, there is an open comment period that allows vaping advocates to be heard!
With only 75 days until the comment period closes, this is a call to action: to help extend that deadline and ensure that CASAA and other advocate groups have enough time to prepare a strong case for e-cigarettes.

You can view CASAA’s original call to action here.
"

Link did not paste in but here is the URL http://blog.casaa.org/2014/05/first-call-to-action-for-fda-proposed.html The link does contain how to access the FDA comment form and some instructions for filling it out.

I am opposed to too much governmental regulation of this industry. Some regulation is a good thing, too much is not. Keeping it out of kids hands is great but lets not go overboard and limit my access to decent devices and supplies.
