This is an example of socialism run am-muck... Flavoured cigarettes include menthol’s... A cigarette type smoked by my dear old dad while in his late 80’s. They banned them in Canada 6 months before he died and robbed him of the one vice he continued to enjoy right up until his death. He still smoked regular cigarettes but he was truly p*ssed when they took away his menthol’s.
Meanwhile, you can buy soda pop flavored booze in all varieties and flavours.
Smoking bad... Alcoholism... Good? Alcohol is likely responsible for more deaths than smoking by a county mile. People drinking themselves to death, getting drunk and killing people while drinking and driving, people getting drunk and offing themselves, people getting drunk and offing somebody else or beating their spouse... The list of alcohol deaths and injuries are far more numerous and gruesome than smoking.
You’re still posting this crap and you’re still an idiot.
I don’t mind being called an idiot by those who pimp death or addiction.
Hmmm... Although I dont like flavored tobacco, most pipe tobacco has at least a top note, and you can buy pretty much any dessert flavor you like.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!
Indeed, every black smoker I know likes their menthol. Only one will even light up a regular ciggy. They’d rather not have one than smoke regular tobacco.
So you’re still a liar too?
You’re not gonna cry are you? Perhaps if you find a safe space you’ll be OK.
Cry? No. You being you doesn’t affect me at all
