WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it will not hear R.J. Reynolds' appeal of a lower court ruling upholding Los Angeles County's law prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco products. This decision is a tremendous victory for kids and public health. It allows Los Angeles County's law to remain in effect, while also preserving the authority of states and localities across the country to enact similar lifesaving measures. R.J. Reynolds and other tobacco companies have desperately fought these laws so they can continue to target kids, Black Americans and other communities with flavored products, including flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.

Key Points: 
  • WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it will not hear R.J. Reynolds' appeal of a lower court ruling upholding Los Angeles County's law prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco products.
  • It allows Los Angeles County's law to remain in effect, while also preserving the authority of states and localities across the country to enact similar lifesaving measures.
  • This decision is a rejection of Reynolds' argument that the Los Angeles County law and similar state and local laws are preempted by the federal Tobacco Control Act.
  • Today's announcement follows the Supreme Court's decision in December to deny Reynolds' request for an emergency injunction to block California's statewide law ending the sale of most flavored tobacco products.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Supreme Court today denied a request by R.J. Reynolds and other tobacco interests for an emergency injunction to block implementation of California's law ending the sale of most flavored tobacco products, which was overwhelming approved by state lawmakers in 2020 and upheld in November by 64% of the state's voters. This decision is a major victory for kids and public health and will allow this lifesaving law to take effect later this month. The decision is a rejection of desperate efforts by Reynolds and other companies to further delay the law so they can continue to target kids, Black Americans and other communities with flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.

Key Points: 
  • This decision is a major victory for kids and public health and will allow this lifesaving law to take effect later this month.
  • While today's decision is about Reynolds' request for an injunction and does not decide the merits of the company's preemption argument, there is no basis for the Supreme Court to review the lower court rulings upholding the law.
  • Policymakers at every level must stand up to the tobacco industry's bullying and take action to protect kids and save lives.
  • The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and 22 partner organizations filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court urging rejection of Reynolds' request for an emergency injunction.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's decision by a federal judge to block implementation of graphic cigarette warnings ordered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is wrong on the law, inconsistent with decades of precedent and harms public health. We urge the Justice Department to appeal this decision, and we are confident that the FDA's warnings will ultimately be upheld by a higher court. Today's ruling was issued by U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in a lawsuit filed by R.J. Reynolds and other tobacco interests.

Key Points: 
  • We urge the Justice Department to appeal this decision, and we are confident that the FDA's warnings will ultimately be upheld by a higher court.
  • Courts have long held that mandatory health warnings conveying truthful information about the risks of dangerous products do not violate the First Amendment.
  • The graphic cigarette warnings were mandated by a large, bipartisan majority of Congress as part of the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
  • The Tobacco Control Act required graphic warning labels covering the top half of the front and back of cigarette packs and 20% of cigarette advertising.

BUFFALO, N.Y., Feb. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 22nd Century Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XXII), a leading agricultural biotechnology company focused on tobacco harm reduction, reduced nicotine tobacco, and improving health and wellness through modern plant science, congratulates Dr. Robert Califf on his confirmation as FDA Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Dr. Califf is known to be a longtime proponent of innovative tobacco control programs and strong supporter of the Agency’s Comprehensive Plan for Tobacco and Nicotine Regulation. The FDA’s commitment to moving forward with the rulemaking process to ban menthol in cigarettes signifies the Agency’s intent to take significant action toward dramatically reducing tobacco-related disease and death in the U.S.

Key Points: 
  • The FDA has already taken great strides to improve public health by granting 22nd Century MRTP authorization for our VLN cigarettes and by announcing that they are on track with the rulemaking process that could ban menthol in cigarettes.
  • It is crucial that the FDA now accelerate implementation of its Comprehensive plan to reduce the amount of nicotine allowed in combustible cigarettes to levels that render them minimally or non-addictive.
  • By providing a non-addictive menthol option, 22nd Century believes FDAs policy can better help menthol smokers move away from addictive nicotine products altogether rather than merely transitioning them to another addictive nicotine product.
  • VLN King and VLN Menthol King are the only FDA authorized reduced nicotine content combustible cigarettes in the U.S. tobacco products market, estimated at approximately $80 billion in size.
