I'm all for encouraging young peeps (and really all folks) to not smoke. Tobacco or anything. It damages one's health in truly horrible ways.

That said, banning menthol is unlikely to have a positive effect on the number of teens starting to smoke. Although I'll bet that statistics can be juggled to show the measure to have been a huge success.

When I was a kid I spent part so my summers and holidays with my best friend down in Ensenada, Mexico. When I was a teenager I took up smoking for a while. On one of my visits we ran out of American Marlboros, so we borrowed a few packs of Mexican Salems from a neighbor/friend.

It resulted in the only bout of diarrhea I ever experienced in Mexico.
