The Biden administration said they will delay their proposed menthol cigarette ban until after the 2024 election. The Food and Drug Administration has attempted to ban the product several times before; however, increased pressure from Big Tobacco and certain members of Congress has delayed the move in the past. Research shows that Black Americans prefer menthol cigarettes to regular ones, and many feel that a ban will hurt the community. Former Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony days after the announcement to weigh in on the debate over banning the flavored cigarette. Dr. Adams, who favors the ban, explained why menthol cigarettes are much harder to quit than regular ones, why minority groups prefer them, and why young Americans gravitate toward e-cigarettes. The segment that aired this week on the regular weekday version of the Rundown only included a small portion of the interview. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Former Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, and not just learn more about the menthol debate, but also look back at the country’s reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic and how he feels politics negatively impacts health policy.   Learn more about your ad choices.
