Politicians in Washington, D.C., are considering H.R. 2339, a bill that would ban all �avored traditional tobacco products—including menthol cigarettes; mint, wintergreen and other �avored dip; and �avored cigars. This bill targets an important part of your revenue— tobacco products make up approximately 34% of average in-store sales. Menthol cigarettes and �avored 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.
