Tobacco companies have developed new formulations of nicotine and menthol to circumvent state laws, significantly undermining public health efforts aimed at reducing smoking rates.
In Massachusetts, tobacco manufacturers exploited a loophole to sell a menthol-like product, demonstrating how regulatory measures can be bypassed, which could mislead consumers.
This sophisticated approach by tobacco manufacturers shows that as smoking rates fall in developed countries, the threat of tobacco products remains global.
Legislation like California's seeks to close these loopholes but faces challenges as tobacco companies continue to innovate ways to attract young smokers.
