Biden Delays Ban on Menthol Cigarettes
Quick Glance: Biden administration faces delays in menthol cigarettes ban
  • The planned implementation of a ban on menthol cigarettes in the US is expected to take 'significantly more time,' according to US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement on Friday.

  • In April 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially announced the ban on the popular mint flavor, setting a deadline for August 2023. Final rules were sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review in October, with the status listed as 'pending.'

  • According to the proposed FDA regulations, the manufacturing and sale of menthols would be prohibited, without direct regulation of smokers themselves.

  • A prohibition on menthol cigarettes could potentially save up to 650,000 lives over the next 40 years, with a third of these lives being saved within the black community, as stated by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

Quick Glance: Unanswered Inquiries Regarding Advancing Avian Flu in U.S. Cows
  • The advancing spread of avian flu in U.S. dairy cattle continues to raise numerous questions. Scientists emphasize the minimal risk to humans, but uncertainties persist regarding the dissemination and impact of the virus.

  • Despite confirming the virus in nine states and over 30 herds, the actual scope of spread remains ambiguous due to insufficient testing.

  • Researchers express concerns about potential public health implications, the infectivity of the virus in milk, and its transmission. Only one human infection has been officially recorded amid the ongoing outbreak.

  • Experts hold differing views on the human risks as the virus persists among cows. The mutation possibility poses a potential threat to human health.
