FDA says it will ban all menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars WASHINGTON The Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday that it will ban all menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars
In some states, such as Michoacn, the so-called Tobacco Cartel has distributed flyers to small grocery stores stating that by order of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), only TIH cigarette brands could be sold
However, Eric Lindblom, the former director for tobacco control at the O'Neill Institute at Georgetown University, said he sees the ban as too "product specific" to indicate future bans on other e-cigarette brands, especially in light of the dozens of e-cigarette products the FDA has approved through its Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) process
However, a study published in the 2019 American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that among all the e-cigarettes tested, the highest levels of oxidative stress were produced by the presence of vitamin B12
