Trump Administration Withdraws FDA's Proposed Ban on Menthol Cigarettes and Flavored Cigars on January 21, 2025
Jan 24, 2025, 03:08 PM
The Trump administration has withdrawn a proposed ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, reversing a policy that was initially proposed by the FDA. This decision, formalized on January 21, 2025, marks a significant shift in tobacco regulation policy. The withdrawal of the ban, which had been stalled during the Biden administration, affects over 20% of U.S. smokers and represents a setback for health regulators and activists who had pushed for the ban as a means to reduce smoking-related health risks.
