Thank you for this moving and comprehensive analysis of the withdrawal of the menthol rule, including sharing the loss of your dad and smoking's horrific toll. I am so sorry for your loss.
If you're game, I'd like to make a time to talk with you more about recent policy developments, particularly FDA's moves the week prior (the release of the proposed #VLNRule to set a maximum concentration for nicotine in cigarettes and certain other tobacco products on 15 Jan and then their authorization of both strengths and all flavors of Zyn nicotine pouches on 16 Jan).
Given my disclosures (below), I would understand if you would not want to provide a platform for my views--I am used to that response! But I figured that if I don't ask, the answer is an automatic "no."
Thank you and keep up your amazing work!
