On the 8th of May 2016, the FDA released its report on the proposed regulations of electronic cigarettes. As you may know electronic cigarettes are a healthy alternative to smoking tobacco products, and are believed by many to be saving lives. Though true, smoking nothing is the healthiest option; and the milestone we have set in our minds. Vaping provides a bridge between the two, that hundreds of thousands of people need in order to live a healthier lifestyle.

If the FDA's proposed regulations are put into effect, then ultimately, there would be no more electronic cigarettes or vapor products. Thousands of small businesses would be laid to rest, and thus many people would turn back to smoking traditional cigarettes; which are 100% proven to be detrimental. These regulations would require an application for any product created after the 15th of February 2007. Which is basically every electronic cigarette, and e-liquid on the market today. These applications would be very costly, setting businesses back hundreds of thousands of dollars, and take, "thousands" of man hours to complete. When the FDA brings down the hammer, they hit hard. I firmly believe that there should be regulations in order to keep consumers safe and assure that nothing is adulterated; but that it needs to be done in a way the business can keep on running, and people don't have to turn back to smoking traditional cigarettes.

We need your vote in order to get the FDA to re-evaluate their proposed regulations. If you believe in providing a healthier alternative to the public, please act now.

Thank you.
