QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you agree with the FDA’s move to ban menthol cigarettes?
The FDA said Thursday that it has started the process of banning menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
The agency says the products disproportionately affect young people, low-income people and minorities. The flavored products make smoking more attractive to new smokers, public health advocates claim.
Tobacco company Altria, which owns Philip Morris, says prohibition does not work.
