BROOKLYN, N.Y., July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Brooklyn Anti-Violence Coalition (BAVC), AFEP and community leaders are calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to drop plans to ban menthol cigarettes.

Key Points: 
  • BROOKLYN, N.Y., July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Brooklyn Anti-Violence Coalition (BAVC), AFEP and community leaders are calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to drop plans to ban menthol cigarettes.
  • BAVC has been active in anti-violence advocacy for over 15 years, and the coalition shares concerns about a menthol ban and the enforcement of such policy.
  • The FDA is proposing to ban menthol cigarettes even though upwards of 85% of Black smokers use menthols, meaning the potential negative consequences of banning them would be squarely on the Black community.
  • We are calling on the FDA to reconsider banning menthol cigarettes, and instead, think about all the other potential public health policies that wouldn't increase violence," said BAVC President Bruce Green.
