The FDA proposed bans on the two products in April to prevent use among youth and reduce tobacco-related disease and death. 

In letters to the FDA sent Aug. 2, the groups said the menthol ban meets the statutory public health standard under the Tobacco Control Act. They also said the ban on flavored cigars will help prevent tobacco-caused mortality, tobacco addiction and disease, and reduce health disparities in the U.S.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
