Intended Behaviors in Anticipation of a National Menthol Flavor Ban: Findings From a Multi-State Rapid-Response Survey in the U.S., 2023–2024
Key Points
Banning menthol cigarettes may significantly improve public health outcomes, particularly for vulnerable demographics.
The anticipated menthol flavor ban could lead to reduced tobacco use among targeted populations, indicating potential positive behavior changes.
Assessment using a multi-state rapid-response survey highlights the importance of considering tobacco burden in public health policies.
This study suggests that a menthol ban may primarily aid in addressing disparities among high-burden states, calling for targeted efforts.
Abstract
Banning menthol cigarettes nationwide may substantially benefit the U.S. population, particularly Black and Hispanic individuals in high-tobacco-burden U.S. states.
