Is There a Regulatory Response to Mentholated Cigarettes?
Regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have been considering bans or restrictions on mentholated cigarettes due to their potential to increase smoking initiation and hinder cessation. These measures aim to reduce the overall public health burden of smoking, particularly among vulnerable populations. The legislative actions reflect growing evidence of the unique role mentholated cigarettes play in perpetuating smoking habits.
