John, The FDA is preparing to move forward with its bold plan to eliminate menthol cigarettes – products the tobacco industry has used to target and addict Black communities and kids for far too long. To highlight the importance of this plan, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is sponsoring a Washington Post LIVE event about menthol cigarettes – and you’re invited. |
