Biden officials indefinitely postpone ban on menthol cigarettes amid election-year pushback
orlandosentinel.com/2024/04/26/biden-officials-indefinitely-postpone-ban-on-menthol-cigarettes-amid-election-year-pushback/
Quick Glance: Biden administration faces delays in menthol cigarettes ban
- The planned implementation of a ban on menthol cigarettes in the US is expected to take 'significantly more time,' according to US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement on Friday.
- In April 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially announced the ban on the popular mint flavor, setting a deadline for August 2023. Final rules were sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review in October, with the status listed as 'pending.'
- According to the proposed FDA regulations, the manufacturing and sale of menthols would be prohibited, without direct regulation of smokers themselves.
- A prohibition on menthol cigarettes could potentially save up to 650,000 lives over the next 40 years, with a third of these lives being saved within the black community, as stated by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
