FDA Bans Flavoured Tobacco
Last June (2209) US President Barack Obama signed into law granting the FDA - Food and Drug Administration - the right to regulate tobacco products. The new law is designed to help deter young people from picking up the habit of smoking.
The FDA has issued their first ruling in their new role when they banned the use of cloves, candy, and other flavours in cigarettes. The menthol flavoured cigarettes popular with many smokers is not a part of the new ban.
The new ruling does not directly affect major US tobacco companies.
