WASHINGTON, April 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- It is profoundly disappointing and harmful to public health that the Biden Administration has missed yet another deadline to issue a final FDA rule eliminating menthol cigarettes.

  • Research shows that eliminating menthol cigarettes will save up to 654,000 lives within 40 years, including 255,000 Black lives.
