Truth Initiative Urges Swift Action to Prevent Delay in Removing Menthol and Cigar Flavors, Citing Serious Health Implications

수요일, 12월 6, 2023

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Truth Initiative is deeply concerned over the Administration's delay in finalizing crucial rules aimed at removing menthol as a characterizing flavor in cigarettes and eliminating all characterizing flavors from cigars. The originally anticipated timeline for these rules, set for August 2023, has now been extended to March 2024. This delay not only puts the rules at risk of never being finalized but also represents a significant victory for Big Tobacco's well-documented exploitative practices, all at the expense of our nation's public health.

Key Points: 
  • The originally anticipated timeline for these rules, set for August 2023, has now been extended to March 2024.
  • The unjustifiable delay we are witnessing will inevitably result in more smokers and more lives lost.
  • Prohibiting menthol as a characterizing flavor in cigarettes can prevent an estimated 92,000 to 238,000 smoking-related deaths among Black Americans, as stated by the FDA.
  • We cannot afford to wait any longer for the menthol and flavored cigar rules to be enacted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- "For decades, the tobacco industry has used menthol and flavored products to deliberately target and addict Hispanic and other targeted communities in a callous campaign to increase profit. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) can stop it now. Sitting at OMB are proposed rules from the FDA, that have been decades in the making, to ban menthol in cigarettes and flavors in cigars. A ban on menthol this month would save over 15,000 lives next year. Action can simply no longer be delayed," said Jane L.
