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.
