McGraw one of 38 who settled with RJ Reynolds

By Nicole Ward


RJ Reynolds tobacco company, West Virginia attorney general Darrell McGraw, and attorneys general from 37 other states have reached a settlement that will end the sale of flavored cigarettes in the United States.

That means no more candy, fruit and alcohol flavored cigarettes.

Right now the agreement does not extend to other tobacco products. John Delporto at the AG's office says they are "doing what they can about the little cigars."

One Charleston woman who works for the statewide "cardiac project" said she thinks this is a good move.

"Especially in the work that I do -- tobacco is considered a risk for a cardio-vascular disease and so I think it's a great step in the right direction," said Alyson Ward.

The settlement also extends to the way in which RJ Reynolds can advertise.

If you want to give your two cents about the sale of flavored cigarettes, you can write to the attorney general at:

Room W435 State Capitol Building Charleston, WV 25305
