In 2009, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act was introduced in the US Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama, giving the FDA significantly more regulatory power over tobacco; one of the provisions in the law includes a ban on the use of flavors in tobacco, other than menthol. The ban includes kreteks. As of September 21, 2009 the clove cigarette were no longer legal in the US. However, Kretek International Inc., importer of the Djarum brand continued to offer the clove / tobacco products as small cigars in an effort to avoid the ban.
