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.

reuters.com/world/africa/support-south-africas-anc-near-40-weeks-before-election-ipsos-poll-shows-2024-04-26/
Quick Glance: Support for South Africa's ANC around 40% before elections
- An Ipsos poll revealed that support for South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) has dropped to just over 40%, weeks before an election that could bring about significant political change.
- While the ANC is still expected to secure the most votes on May 29, falling below 50% would require seeking coalition partners to govern, marking the first such alliance since Nelson Mandela led the party to power 30 years ago.
- The survey was based on face-to-face interviews with 2,545 registered voters across all nine provinces in March and April, boasting a margin of error of 1.9% at a 95% confidence level.
- The poll also highlighted rising voter discontent due to issues like unemployment, corruption, crime, and poor services, with the ANC considering potential coalition partners such as the economically liberal DA and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

entrepreneur.com/business-news/tiktok-ban-bill-becomes-law-gives-tiktok-9-months-to-sell/473173
Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
- ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

- ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.
- As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.
