FDA pulling Menthol Cigarettes

The FDA is saying that the supply of menthol-flavored cigarettes is rising due to the number of children and African Americans smoking nowadays, and they are suggesting they be taken off the market.  The menthol in the cigarettes is increasing the chance of addiction in adults and even in children.  The Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee's final report must be submitted to the FDA by March 23.
