News on November 22, according to foreign news reports, on November 17, Kandis A.Westmore, District Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, issued a ruling that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) further postponed the release of the termination of the sale of mint. After the proposal of the mellow rule, the FDA was reminded that, under the Administrative Procedure Act, the Cigarette Act can be regarded as "undue delay."

In April 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that it would begin a rule-making process in response to the citizen petition submitted in 2013. Previously, the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council (AATCLC), Action of SMOKing and Health, the American Medical Association and the National Medical Association filed lawsuits. The lawsuit was filed on June 17, 2020, claiming that the FDA failed to take action against menthol cigarettes, and violated the duties and authorizations stipulated in the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.

AATCLC co-chairman Phillip Gardiner explained: "We commend District Court Judge Westmore for keeping the FDA down to earth. The black community has waited too long for the FDA to take action and protect the health of our people. Ending the sale of menthol cigarettes will be the country's rescue of Africa One of the most effective measures that can be taken to promote the lives of Americans and to promote health equity."

"We are very pleased that Judge Westmore agreed that the FDA's April 29 announcement is to comply with the beginning of this lawsuit, not the end." said Laurent Huber, executive director of Action for Smoking and Health. "Unfortunately, when it comes to tobacco, the FDA rarely adheres to deadlines, or even sets them on its own. Every delay will cause loss of life."

According to data from AATCLT, more than 72,000 African Americans are diagnosed with tobacco-related diseases each year, and more than 45,000 African Americans die from tobacco-related diseases. 85% of African-American smokers smoked menthol cigarettes, while the proportion of white smokers who smoked Hong Kong menthol cigarettes was 29%. Menthol cigarettes will increase tumors and make it more difficult to quit smoking. More than 70% of African Americans want to quit smoking, and more than 60% tried to quit smoking in the previous year. However, African-American smokers are less likely to successfully quit smoking than white smokers.
