WASHINGTON (AP) — White House officials will take more time to review a sweeping plan from U.S. health regulators to ban menthol cigarettes, an unexpected delay that anti-tobacco groups fear could scuttle the long-awaited rule.
Administration officials indicated Wednesday the process will continue into next year, targeting March to implement the rule, according to an updated regulatory agenda posted online. Previously, the rule was widely expected to be published in late 2023 or early January.

The above looks like a lesbian Gloria Steinam ad.
All I remember was my mom scooting me out out the house to walk 3/4's mile to the school bus stop.
I guess Mom my mother spent her time alone, with coffee, Salem's, and the newspaper
Anti-smoking advocates vs black voters. Which to choose, which to choose?
With most Black smokers favoring menthols, I’ll be surprised if they’re banned until after next year.
The black guys I know who smoke all smoke menthol. Outlawing menthol is gonna p*ss them off.
Quit smoking in 1976 after 14 years of smoking. Could never stand menthols.
I guess naming the original menthol Kool was a successful marketing ploy to get black smokers hooked
I think Blacks should be able to smoke Kools if they want to. I think Whites and Asians should be able to also. And the anti smokers can KMA. I’ll decide for myself. Not some arrogant Pharisee in the public domain.
I know it’s too
Much to ask, but imagine if the left would ease up on the notion that they know better than everyone else how their lives should be lived. Alas, easing up is not in them, because the central aspect of the liberal mind is the will to control others
Simple people’s votes are far more valuable than people’s health.
No way. There were no lesbians before 2008, and the girl on the right is hawt, even with those funky leather patch jeans.
Black people smoke more menthol cigarettes than anyone... so Biden doesn’t want to mess with the black fraud vote - oops, I mean black vote.
The open border illustrates that quite nicely.
Blacks overwhelmingly smoke menthols.
It really is amazing that The White Hospice has some Gen Z dweeb scouring the Reg Book for any possible wedge issue with their melanin cohort, anything less than stopping the migras invasion, of course.
Ex smoker here. At one time I smoked True Green 100s or B&H Menthols. Stopped for 2 years. Picked it up again but realized how awful menthol cigarettes are. Switched to non-menthol before quitting for good.
My father started smoking menthols in his late 50s and smoked them until he died at 87... He had previously smoked Rothman’s. Not sure if that’s the key to longevity or not, but they obviously didn’t hurt him.
Izzat Plugs Biden???
‘90% probability these anti-smoking “Karens” have no problem with people that want to smoke weed.’
Yeah, I’m a nonsmoker, but that double-standard irks me too... especially in California. The minority of nicotine users (most of whom seems to hold down jobs and be productive members of society) are demonized while the stoners are celebrated and do as they please. When I’m at a baseball game in San Francisco, for example, it seems like no one would ever dare to light up a tobacco cigar, cigarette or pipe in the bleachers, but the stoners fire up their foul-smelling, brain-rotting doobies with impunity.
