Congress tries to regulate tobacco for the first time.If this is Congress's first foray into tobacco regulation, then why has BATFE had a "t" in it for decades?

Personally I like cigarette smokers. The more they smoke, the less taxes I have to pay. Since it’s a free choice to smoke, we should not be punishing people who choose that activity by taxing them excessively. They are filling the government coffers everytime they buy a pack.

Nearly 75 percent of black smokers use menthol brands, compared with only about one in four white smokers.That is why one former public health official says the legislation’s menthol exemption is a “cave-in to the industry,”
BS. It was a cave-in by legislators terrified of being called racists for prohibiting a substance used mostly by blacks.

Blacks have been viciously exploited/murdered for profit by the democrat party forever.
40% of babies murdered with federal funds are black. The disgraceful inner sh*tty public schools are run by democrat party controlled crooked teachers unions. Blacks are kept smoking to provide revenue for Congress.
etc, etc, etc.

“I would have been in favor of banning menthol,” said Senator Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire, who supports the bill. “But as a practical matter that simply wasn’t doable.”WTF is my "Republican" Senator doing supporting this ban? What's next, menthol cough drops?
In 2006, New Hampshire's population was 1.1% black. It's not like he's the guardian of the oppressed black underclass. Doesn't he have better things to do?

When I was a kid you had to start smoking cold turkey.
Kids today don’t know how good they have it. They get the gum, then the patch. Heck, they’re hooked before they ever light up!
