The Biden administration said on Friday that its plan to ban menthol cigarettes would be delayed, a decision that follows pushback from black voters, police groups, and drug policy experts ahead of the 2024 election.

“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,” Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement on Friday.

Becerra said a final decision on the ban “will take significantly more time” following further conversations with stakeholders in the debate.

The update from HHS followed reports the administration is expected to announce a further delay in its decision on whether to impose a ban.

Since when does the WH get involved in things like this ?

They had no clue as to what made this Constitution so great.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

So Dems are eradicating African-American communities by selling them Menthol Cigarettes?  Sounds like racist white nationalist domestic terrorism to me.  1-800-CALL-FBI
