flag Trump administration withdraws proposed ban on menthol in cigarettes, despite health benefits.

flag The Trump administration has withdrawn a proposed rule from the FDA that would have banned menthol in cigarettes and flavored cigars, a move previously considered a "top priority" by the Biden administration. flag Supporters argue the ban could save up to 654,000 lives and reduce healthcare costs by $1.62 billion over 20 years. flag Critics, including convenience store operators and tobacco companies, say it could lead to job losses and increase black market trade. flag The American Lung Association and other health groups are disappointed with the withdrawal, but a future administration could still pursue the ban.
