FDA Examines Menthol Cigarettes, With Possible Ban In Sight

MIAMI - MARCH 30: Menthol cigarettes are seen for sale on a shelf at a Quick Stop store on March 30, 2010 in Miami, Florida. Today in Washington, DC a public hearing began before a committee of outside experts that advises the Food and Drug Administration as they weigh the evidence of menthol's impact on smokers' use and health. The FDA could eventually ban or phase out the menthol cigarettes that some experts say can be more enticing and possibly addicting than regular cigarettes. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
