Leading Critic of Menthol Cigarettes Resigns from FDA Advisory Committee
(Related [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]) Gregory N. Connolly, a professor of public health at Harvard, has resigned from a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee that will soon make recommendations on whether to ban menthol in cigarettes, The Wall Street Journal reported Jan. 5.

The FDA does not have to follow the committee's recommendations and has no deadline to reach a decision.
David Adelman, an analyst for Morgan Stanley, concluded that Connolly's departure made it less likely that the FDA would ban menthol as an additive for cigarettes.
