For the first time since Congress authorized the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate tobacco in 2009, FDA proposed two tobacco product standards on May 4, 2022. After a period of public comment and agency review, if the product standards are finalized in their current form, they will ban menthol cigarettes (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2022b), which comprised 37% of the U.S. cigarette market in 2019 and 2020 (Federal Trade Commission, 2021), and flavored cigars (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2022a), which have exceeded 50% of cigar sales since 2012 (Delnevo et al., 2021b). This commentary examines potential challenges to banning flavored cigars and highlights issues FDA and Congress should consider.
2009 年，美国国会授权美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）监管烟草以来，FDA 于 2022 年 5 月 4 日首次提出了两项烟草产品标准。在经过一段时间的公众意见征询和机构审查后，如果产品标准以目前的形式定稿，它们将禁止薄荷醇香烟（美国食品药品监督管理局，2022b），这种香烟在 2019 年和 2020 年占美国香烟市场的 37%（联邦贸易委员会，2021），以及调味雪茄（美国食品药品监督管理局，2022a），自 2012 年以来，调味雪茄的销售额已超过雪茄总销售额的 50%（Delnevo 等人，2021b）。本评论探讨了禁止调味雪茄可能面临的挑战，并强调了 FDA 和国会应该考虑的问题。
