The Trump administration has withdrawn a proposed ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, disappointing public health advocates who attribute many premature deaths to these products. The decision comes amid political considerations, particularly due to the disproportionate smoking rates of menthol cigarettes among Black Americans.
