Biden Administration Again Delays Proposed Menthol Cigarettes Ban
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.

Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll
  • A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.

  • In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”

  • Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”

  • In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.
