Politicians in Washington, D.C., are considering H.R. 2339, a bill that would ban all flavored traditional tobacco products—including menthol cigarettes; mint, wintergreen and other flavored dip; and flavored cigars. This bill targets an important part of your revenue— tobacco products make up approximately 34% of average in-store sales. Menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars and dip are an important part of that category. Tobacco retailers risk losing sales of tobacco products plus all of the other items that adult tobacco customers purchase.
