Federal, state and municipal governments, particularly here in Ohio, have gone back and forth on whether to ban menthol cigarettes
The Biden administration said they will delay their proposed menthol cigarette ban until after the 2024 election. The Food and Drug Administration has attempted to ban the product several times before; however, increased pressure from Big Tobacco and certain members of Congress has delayed the move in the past. Research shows that Black Americans prefer menthol cigarettes to regular ones, and many feel that a ban will hurt the community. Former Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony days after the announcement to weigh in on the debate over banning the flavored cigarette. Dr. Adams, who favors the ban, explained why menthol cigarettes are much harder to quit than regular ones, why minority groups prefer them, and why young Americans gravitate toward e-cigarettes.

In the U.S., flavored cigarettes have been banned since 2009, with one glaring exception: menthols. That exception was supposed to go away in 2023, but the Biden administration quietly delayed the ban on menthols. Why? Well, an estimated 85 percent of Black smokers smoke menthols — and some (potentially suspect) polls have indicated that a ban on menthols would chill Biden's support among Black people. Of course, it's more complicated than that. The story of menthol cigarettes is tied up in policing, advertising, influencer-culture, and the weaponization of race and gender studies. Oh, and a real-life Black superhero named Mandrake the Magician.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In 2021, the Biden administration proposed a federal ban on menthol cigarettes and last year the U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed rules to prohibit menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars – products the tobacco industry has intentionally marketed to kids, Black Americans and other communities at enormous cost in health and lives. As the FDA's rule-making process draws to an end (the FDA plans to issue final rules by its own deadline of August 2023), some are wondering some are wondering about the far-reaching implications of this decision on the Black community and law enforcement. Having testified in legislative sessions nationwide for several years on this matter, retired police captain Sonia Pruitt has publicized the complexity behind the ban's potential impact on the Black community. With the FDA's justification to save "Black smokers," she raises concerns about potential unintended consequences, including disparate interactions between law enforcement and the Black community, the emergence of an illegal market, and the failure to address the core issue of smoking. She emphasizes the absence of consultation with Black law enforcement and community stakeholders and draws parallels to historical bans disproportionately affecting the Black community. The former Chairwoman of the National Black Police Association and founder of The Black Police Experience joins Tavis to shed light on this nuanced issue.
WASHINGTON D.C. (AURN News) – Javier Palomarez, president and CEO of the United States Hispanic Business Council, has raised some serious concerns over the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) forthcoming ban on menthol cigarettes. In an exclusive interview with AURN News, Palomarez passionately voiced his reservations about the potential repercussions of the ban, particularly its impact on imports, exports, and communities of color. “In 29 states in America, marijuana is legal. 29 states…and every year more and more states are making marijuana legal. Imagine a world where you can purchase a joint and you're absolutely fine to sit outside and smoke it. But if you purchase a menthol cigarette, you could get arrested,” Palomarez said. Palomarez expressed concern about potential ramifications on trade and illicit activities. For the United States Hispanic Business Council, the potential menthol ban by the Biden Administration is an issue that has deep effects. “We had to speak up and say listen, it impacts our grocers, our convenience store owners, our lounge owners, our restaurant owners, our bar owners, our bodega owners, that again, are playing by the rules, paying taxes, creating jobs, and selling a product that is legally consumed and can only be consumed by an adult. And if you criminalize that, guess what's going to happen, the cartels will take over and they will begin to sell this product and making a huge fortune,” Palomarez told AURN News. The FDA is expected to make its final decision sometime this month. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Proposition 31 would ban the sale of flavored tobacco in California, including flavored vaping products and menthol cigarettes. People would still be able to have these items, but they couldn't buy them in the state. Yes on 31 is supported by the American Heart Association, the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society and others. It's opposed by the various tax associations and chambers of commerce. Supporters say flavored tobacco targets children and people of color, primarily Black Americans. The no side says prohibition doesn't work, it could encourage black market products, and we should trust adults to make their own decisions.

Today, the FDA announced its proposed rule on product standards to ban menthol flavoring in cigarettes and non-tobacco flavors in cigars. "The proposed rules would help prevent children from becoming the next generation of smokers and help adult smokers quit," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement. Menthol imparts a minty flavor to a range of consumer products, and in cigarettes and cigars, its use can make tobacco more appealing. The FDA noted in a fact sheet that it also "interacts with nicotine in the brain to enhance nicotine's addictive effects and makes it more difficult for people to quit smoking." The FDA's enforcement of the rule would not target individual consumers; its rule is intended to confront the industry — manufacturers, distributors and retailers, for instance.
