Bidis (or “beedies”) are small, flavored, filterless Indian cigarettes that have been gaining popularity among America’s teenagers. They consist of shredded tobacco rolled in dried tendu leaves (a broad-leafed plant native to India) and secured with string. They are produced in a variety of flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, cherry, licorice, menthol, and mango.1 Many consumers, including youth, think bidis are not as harmful as regular cigarettes but they are at least as harmful if not more. Accordingly, several states have banned the sale or distribution of bidis (IL, VT, WV) and others have banned their sale or distribution to youth.
