"Conservative group launches ad campaign against Biden's menthol cigarette ban, while faith leaders and cardiologists support the prohibition"

Conservative advocacy group Building Americas Future is launching a six-figure ad campaign targeting swing states and congressional districts over the Biden administration's proposed menthol cigarette ban. The group argues that the ban would result in significant revenue losses for states and the federal government, while also fueling an underground market and disproportionately affecting minority communities. Proponents of the ban argue that it would reduce tobacco use and address health disparities caused by the targeting of certain communities by tobacco companies. The FDA has sent the proposed regulations to the White House for review.
