Apr. 30 The move by President Joe Biden s administration to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars is unlikely to disrupt California s upcoming referendum on a state law prohibiting sales of those and other tobacco products.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday announced that it plans to go ahead with efforts to ban the tobacco products, building on a previous ban of other flavored cigarettes in 2009. It kicks off a lengthy process that might not be resolved for years.
