On April 28, 2022, the FDA proposed a rule to ban flavors in cigars. This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) follows a collection of information in 2018 that did not include a proposal to act. Members of the public health community had until August 2, 2022, to submit comments to the FDA.

The FDA officially withdrew this rule on January 21, 2025 and will no longer move forward with the rule at this time.
