Trump Administration Revokes FDA's Proposed Menthol Cigarette Ban

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

As Trump continues to make his interesting changes as president, his administration has officially withdrawn a proposal to ban menthol cigarettes in the U.S.

Revealed in a recent filing by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, the decision comes after years of advocacy surrounding the harmful nature of menthol products.

In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed the ban and targeted menthol cigarettes, as well as flavored cigars. At the time, health advocacy groups argued that these items were not just addictive but also appealing to young kids. Despite these concerns, Trump’s administration opted to abandon the proposed regulation.

“It is deeply disappointing that a final rule was not issued in a timely manner,” Yolonda Richardson, CEO of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, said. “It is more critical than ever that states and cities step up their efforts to end the sale of menthol cigarettes and other flavored tobacco products.”

Last year, the FDA submitted its finalized regulation to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, which the Biden administration was expected to sign off on. However, the administration was hit with challenges and agreed to meet with various groups that opposed the rule, including civil rights organizations, business owners, and law enforcement officials. But, the government missed the deadlines in December 2023 and March 2024 to issue the final decision on the ban.

Despite the setback, public health leaders are still staying focused on their call for reform. In November 2024, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy highlighted the need to ban menthol cigarettes, citing their influence in increasing addiction rates and high usage among marginalized groups, including “Black Americans, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities, women, and individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual.”
