John,

 

Today, we’re sending a loud and clear message to the White House: Act now to prohibit menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.

 

We joined 123 leading civil rights, public health, medical, faith, youth-serving and other organizations in placing a full-page ad in The Washington Post and issuing a joint statement urging the Biden Administration to issue final rules this month to prohibit these products, meeting a deadline the Administration set in December.

 

Help us make sure President Biden gets the message by sending him an email today >> 

 

We were deeply disappointed in December when the Administration delayed issuing these long-overdue rules. As tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States and kills nearly half a million Americans every year, any further delay will result in needless disease, suffering and deaths.

The ad and joint statement underscore the strong and broad support across the nation for this policy, which will:

  • Protect kids from tobacco addiction,
  • Advance the President's Cancer Moonshot,
  • Promote health equity, and
  • Save lives, especially Black lives.
