[$$] Big Tobacco prepares to fight proposed ban on menthol cigarettes
It is 54 years since the US surgeon general estimated the average smoker was almost 10 times as likely to die of lung cancer as a non-smoker, and 18 years since a class-action lawsuit resulted in a record — albeit subsequently overturned — $145bn damages award against Big Tobacco. “I think it’s as big of a milestone, and builds off those earlier milestones,” said Joelle Lester, director of tobacco control for the Public Health Law Center, which has led several campaigns against the industry. The cancer survivor and former physician said he planned to ban menthol cigarettes and flavoured cigars — and severely restrict the availability of flavoured ecigarettes to locations off limits to anyone under 21.

U.S. FDA to ban flavored e-cigarettes at U.S. convenience stores
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday announced sweeping new restrictions on flavored tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes popular among teenagers in an effort to prevent a new generation of nicotine addicts. The much-anticipated announcement will mean that only tobacco, mint and menthol e-cigarette flavors can be sold at most traditional retail outlets such as convenience stores. The FDA also plans to seek a ban on menthol cigarettes, a longtime goal of public health advocates, as well as flavored cigars.

FDA chief pushes to ban menthol cigarettes, restrict many flavored e-cigarettes
U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb announced on Thursday plans to ban menthol in products like cigarettes and cigars and restrict the sale of many types of flavored electronic nicotine systems like e-cigarettes in order to prevent youth use. The news sent shares of tobacco companies, many of whom also make electronic systems, down. Gottlieb also proposed banning flavored cigars "to ensure that we're taking a comprehensive approach," he said. Use of e-cigarettes has become extremely popular in recent years among young people; the products are safer than e-cigarettes but do contain addictive nicotine and bear other health concerns. The FDA chief has been warning about youth use of e-cigarettes for some time, and previously forecasted the agency's plans to take additional steps in November. But Gottlieb also said on Thursday that "if the policy changes that we have outlined don't reverse this epidemic, and if the manufacturers don't do their part to help advance this cause, I'll explore additional actions." The new policy, should it be finalized, would only allow the sale of flavored electronic nicotine systems in "age-restricted, in-person locations and, if sold online, under heightened practices for age verification," according to the FDA statement, and would not apply to tobacco, mint and menthol flavors and non-flavored products. British American Tobacco shares dropped 2.3% on Thursday, Altria Group shares dropped 1.3% and Philip Morris shares slumped 0.5%.

[$$] Juul Says It Will Quit Social Media
E-cigarette startup Juul Labs Inc. said it is shutting down its Facebook and Instagram accounts and curbing its use of other social media in the U.S., part of the company’s response to the Food and Drug Administration’s call for changes to curb underage e-cigarette use. Sales of Juul’s vaporizers and flavored nicotine liquids have surged over the past year, fueled in part by the product’s popularity among teenagers and children. Its rapid growth was helped by the San Francisco company’s use of social media to advertise its products as well as by user-generated posts that glamorized Juul.

Juul Labs to pull sweet e-cig flavors to curb youth use
Juul Labs Inc, the U.S. market leader for electronic cigarettes, said on Tuesday it will pull popular flavors such as mango, cucumber and fruit from retail store shelves in an effort to reduce surging teenage use of its products. The move comes as Juul and other e-cigarette makers have faced heightened scrutiny from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration amid a sharp increase by high school students in use of the devices, which look like a USB flash drive and vaporize a flavored liquid containing nicotine. Juul said it will stop selling flavors except for tobacco, mint and menthol in all retail outlets, including convenience stores and vape shops, until retailers can install technology that scans buyers' IDs to independently verify they are aged 21 or older.

2018 has been a rough year so far for shareholders of Altria Group Inc. Since the calendar flipped to January, this tobacco and alcohol giant has shed more than 12% of its market value, trailing the broad market meaningfully during a choppy year when positive performance has been particularly valuable. Altria has basically undergone two major trends in 2018: The first was a well-defined downtrend that led into the summer months, and the second has actually been an uptrend that started back in the middle of May, and has remained in play ever since.
