Joe Biden Moves to Ban Menthol Cigarettes While Pushing Safe Crack Pipes, Marijuana Reform
Breitbart ^ | 10/23/2023 | Sean moran

President Joe Biden’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is pushing to ban menthol cigarettes after it has pressed for safe crack pipe distribution and marijuana reform.

The FDA has pushed its long-awaited ban on menthol cigarettes, which some public health groups believe could help improve black communities and prevent young Americans from smoking cigarettes. Menthol cigarettes are viewed as more addictive than traditional cigarettes.

Tobacco companies have argued that there is no direct link between menthol cigarettes and starting smoking or even increased dependence on cigarettes. Black leaders, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and other similarly minded groups have voiced concerns that a menthol ban could lead to further policing of black communities.

While the Biden administration continues its nanny-state regulating of menthol-flavored cigarettes, it has made controversial moves to increase access to other drug paraphernalia and safe places to use illicit drugs.

In fiscal year 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) began a $30 million grant program to provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that grants would provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and “any illicit substance.”

A $5 million grant to New York University and Brown University funded an investigation into if overdoses can be prevented by “safe injection sites” — or places where drug addicts can use heroin and other illegal drugs and can be revived if they use too much.

“Biden has also moved to pardon those convicted of marijuana possession under federal law, urged governors to do the same, and moved to review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.”

No contradiction: there is still no such thing as a conviction for tobacco possession, nor is tobacco scheduled under federal law.

At least cloves are ok?

More seriously targeting a product blacks supposedly like because they are not intelligent enough to know it is bad for them?

What next? Ban Bud Lite cause you should not take gender bending drugs with alcohol
