Cancer Comunity Letter on eliminating menthol as a characterizing flavor in cigarettes – Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute shared a post on LinkedIn:

We know that tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. and tobacco use is one of the primary causes of cancer-related health disparities. Finalizing the proposed rule to eliminate menthol as a characterizing flavor in cigarettes and all characterizing flavors in cigars can end this devastation and save lives from cancer, along with many other health conditions.
