Blumenthal Pushes For Removal Of Menthol cigarettes Products
Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) wrote the Food and Drug Administration today expressing support for their continued work to protect public health through the “removal of menthol cigarettes from the marketplace.”
Blumenthal encouraged the FDA to continue work to follow up on recommendations from a report from the cheap smokes Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC) regarding menthol cigarettes.
“Such findings about the dangers of menthol cheap cigarettes products in general, and to our youth in particular, are highly concerning, and provide abundant grounds for FDA to develop a plan that will result in the removal of menthol from cheap cigarettes products to protect public health,” Blumenthal states in the letter. “It is well documented that the restriction of access to cheap cigarettes products directly impacts youth smoking cigarettes rates and that FDA should take strong action to prevent discount cigarettes companies from using menthol buy cigarettes to increase the number of youth who smoke.”
The TPSAC Committee found evidence that cigarettes companies often include menthol flavors in their products both to entice certain demographics – such as young children and teens – to use cigarettes, and to make it harder for them to quit.
Blumenthal has a long record of fighting to protect public health as Attorney General, and helped lead the legal fight against big cigarettes culminating in an historic settlement in 1998 which included restrictions on direct cigarettes advertising to children, resulting in a dramatic drop in youth smoking cigarettes rates in Connecticut and around the country.

Smoking Ban May Go Too Far For MSU
From a health standpoint, there’s a lot to be said for banning smoking cigarettes from the Montana State University campus.
