In 2022, the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) proposed rules to end the sale of menthol
cigarettes and flavored cigars. These proposed rules are an important
step forward to reduce tobacco use and address tobacco-related health
disparities.
The
Bottom line: Ending the sale of menthol cigarettes
and flavored cigars will prevent many kids from starting to smoke and
promote quitting, especially among Black Americans. These actions have
the potential to save millions of lives.
Please take a
moment to send a letter to President Biden to urge him to move forward
quickly with issuing final rules that will end the sale of these deadly
products.
In case you missed it: the
American Lung Association has just released its yearly State of Tobacco Control report. See
how your state compares.
Thank you for advocating to
protect our nation’s health from tobacco use by taking action.
