A pending ban on menthol cigarettes could add to President JoeBiden's woes as the midterm elections come into view.
On top of a struggling economy, immigration issues, and inflation, the Biden administration could hurt Democratic hopefuls with its ban on menthol cigarettes, according to a new poll of voters in three swing states.
The Food and Drug Administration announced on April 29, 2021, that it was working toward banning menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars"within the next year." Officials are now finalizing the plan to ban menthols, which were exempted from a ban on flavored cigarettes enacted in 2009. "This would expose consumers to dangerous contraband cigarettes, increase youth access to cigarettes and promote criminal activity," reads Sharpton's letter."Further, a menthol ban would exacerbate existing, simmering issues around racial profiling, discrimination, and policing."
The process of converting an unflavored cigarette into a menthol cigarette is not difficult, argued Marianos, which will make it hard if not impossible for police to enforce the ban while creating a new crime out of a product that has been legal for decades.
