Today, Carol McGruder ActionSmoking&Health National Medical Association filed a second lawsuit against U.S. FDA for their inaction issuing a final rule banning menthol cigarettes. A ban on menthol cigarettes would save 6,000 Black lives every year. There is no time to delay. #BanMenthol ow.ly/w0BY50R6LJ1

It is unacceptable and deeply harmful to public health that the Biden Administration has once again delayed issuing the final rule to prohibit menthol cigarettes. This decision prioritizes politics over lives, especially Black lives. Our statementšŸ‘‡ tobaccofreekids.org/press-releases…

Menthol cigarettes disproportionately harm Black communities. Banning them is a step towards health equity and justice. #TobaccoEndgame #BanMenthol #HumanRights

Quitting shouldn’t be harder because of who you are—but for many Black Americans, it is. 73% of Black adults who smoke want to quit, 63.4% have tried last year but only 4.9% succeeded. Better access to treatment is key. #HealthEquity #QuitSmoking #BlackHealthMatters
