The right-leaning advocacy organization, Building Americas Future, is initiating a sizable advertising investment across various swing states and potentially influential congressional districts ahead of the 2024 elections.

This campaign is in response to the presumed menthol cigarette restrictions proposed by the Biden administration. Building Americas Future contends that this policy from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the potential to threaten billions in state revenues at the national level.

A 2022 analysis by the Tax Foundation estimated that such limitations on menthol cigarette sales could result in a loss of about $1.9 billion for the federal government. For state governments, the loss is projected to be even more severe; they stand to lose an estimated $4.7 billion collectively due to the substantial taxes imposed on cigarettes.

Jeffrey Singer, a senior research associate at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute, expressed his concern over the potential ban in an October report.

He argued that the restriction has set into motion with probable damaging consequences due to the resultant growth in black market transactions for contraband products such as cigars, cigarettes, and illegal drugs.
