A conservative nonprofit group plans to spend $10 million in the hopes of chipping away at Vice President Kamala Harris' key base of Black voter support by criticizing the White House's proposal, which it postponed earlier this year, to ban menthol cigarettes.
The Biden administration announced its intent to ban menthol cigarettes in 2021, framing it as a potential game-changing policy to protect young and minority smokers by helping them quit or stopping them from smoking in the first place. The plan is backed by a broad coalition of public health groups, as well prominent Black officials like NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who have appeared in ads by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids touting the policy.
