The Food and Drug Administration will release its official plan to phase out minty tobacco products 'in the coming months', setting the policy up to be implemented in 2024.
It first announced that it would ban menthol cigarettes in April 2022 in what would be its most consequential regulatory move against Big Tobacco since 2009 when Congress banned all flavors in cigarettes – save for menthol.
Researchers from the American Cancer Society also concluded that the ban led to the state smoking rate to fall by one percentage point more compared to states without a ban.
Still, Massachusetts law enforcement has seen an illicit market emerge for the banned products. The state’s Multi-Agency Illegal Tobacco Task Force for Massachusetts said in its annual report out in February that high taxes coupled with the flavor ban has encouraged smuggling of tobacco products across states.

Anybody want in on my new line of liquid menthol “air freshener “ drops? It comes with a 3” blunt syringe to allow you to deposit tiny amounts in hard to reach spaces.

President Trump can run ads with rap stars smoking menthols cigs—some lyrics:
“We are men
We don’t ask permission
The Karens and the perverts can go.....”
Well you get the idea...
