The Biden administration said Friday it would again delay a decision on a regulation aiming to ban menthol-flavored cigarettes, citing the “historic attention” and “immense amount of feedback” on the controversial proposal by the Food and Drug Administration.
“This rule has garnered historic attention and the public comment period has yielded an immense amount of feedback, including from various elements of the civil rights and criminal justice movement,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement.
Nothing should be banned is just makes for an unregulated thus unsafe market for consumers.
That said this is some real nickle and dime kinda shit for the constituents isn’t it? Can we line up a vote on healthcare or more student loan relief. I don’t really give a fuck about cigarettes.
True, the lobby must not want that for some reason?
What is the lobby that stops healthcare and student loan stuff? I actually don’t know who is behind either.
It’s so brazenly corrupt how the government ignores democracy when it’s inconvenient.
