The Minnesota Department of Health has opened a request for proposals (RFP) to advance local and Tribal policies prohibiting the sale of flavored commercial tobacco products, including menthol, to prevent initiation among young people, promote cessation among adults, and advance health equity by reducing commercial tobacco-related health disparities.
Increasing the number of local or Tribal policies that prohibit the sale of all flavored commercial tobacco products and increasing the number of Minnesotans living in communities with flavored commercial tobacco policies will improve public health and reduce the burden of commercial tobacco use in Minnesota.
