Biden Halts Menthol Cigarette Ban, No Timeline Set Amid Election Concerns
Apr 26, 2024, 07:04 PM
The Biden administration has decided to abandon its plan to ban menthol cigarettes, a move reported by the Wall Street Journal. This decision comes after considering the political implications, particularly the potential backlash from Black voters in an election year. The administration weighed the public health benefits of a ban against the risk of alienating a significant voter base. There is no specified timeline for how long the decision will be delayed. This reversal marks a significant shift in policy, reflecting the administration's cautious approach to regulatory changes that could have substantial political repercussions.
