Menthol can make it harder to quit smoking. People who smoke menthol cigarettes are more likely to keep smoking which puts them at higher risk of getting tobacco-related diseases. Learn more about the impact of menthol tobacco products: https://t.co/GBk9GHVl6U

Pleased by decline in high-school use of e-cigarettes. Alarmed by rise in middle-school use. Most important: more than 2 MILLION kids are still vaping, many of them frequently, suggesting addiction. Plus 10% of all young adults (18-24) are vaping. Much more to do! @FDATobacco
