The FDA announced its proposed rules for the ban, to 'help prevent children from becoming the next generation of smokers,' said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.
The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday announced its proposed rule on product standards to ban menthol flavoring in cigarettes and non-tobacco flavors in cigars.
Menthol imparts a minty flavor to a range of consumer products, and in cigarettes and cigars, its use can make tobacco more appealing. The FDA noted in a fact sheet that it also"interacts with nicotine in the brain to enhance nicotine's addictive effects and makes it more difficult for people to quit smoking."
