The Biden administration will further delay a long-awaited ban on menthol cigarettes after fierce lobbying from critics who warn that a prohibition could anger some Black smokers who favor the products and could hurt President Biden’s reelection prospects, administration officials said.

The internal polling for the Biden administration must be very bad.
For a couple of years now, Twitchy has reported on the Biden administration and the FDA banning menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser banned menthol cigarettes in her city, saying they have a 'particularly insidious effect' on the black community.
Well, we guess the health impacts of smoking don't matter quite as much as Biden's reelection campaign.

Officials originally planned to finalize the rules in August 2023 and later signaled to public health groups that they hoped to finish them by January, although the resulting ban was not expected to go into effect for several years because of anticipated legal challenges.
This is just incredible. The FDA and Biden administration have argued for quite some time that menthol tobacco products are a health hazard, but are now delaying their ban on these items in order to help Biden's reelection chances.
His poll numbers > the health and safety of his voters, apparently.
We can disagree on whether or not this is a good move, but the Biden administration has argued it's necessary to save lives. And now they're backpedaling because it might hurt Biden's reelection next year.

Not until after 2024, that is.

Lots of people agree that the ban will happen after Biden is reelected. If he's reelected.

It really is amazing.
No one will ask KJP about this at the next press conference.

Not electoral consequences!

That about sums it up.
What a clown show this administration is. An absolute three-ring circus.
