I agree with you. Their reasoning is so patronizing, it is nauseating.
I never liked menthol’s, I was a Lucky Strike and Camel non-filter sort of guy and I didn’t need the government to wean me off cigarettes. I quit on my own cold turkey 40 years ago this August. I don’t need no stinking Nanny, especially a Democrat one.

-- I used to smoke Kools. --

Ever do the dreaded Kool straights?

I find it amazing that the feds can ban this sort of product. But then I rememebr Article II, Section 8, the "nanny state" clause (also known as commerce clause) in the constitution.

It is sometimes hard to tell whether the elites are hard racists or hard core evil or hard core fanatics....

probably a little of all of the above.

The black market in the black community is gonna make Prohibition look like a garden party.

Not me, but a lot of pipe smokers will storm the FDA if they ban cherry, vanilla, and coffee flavored tobaccos.

I don’t need any ‘improvements’ to my cigarettes, nor do I require any protection from them, so bug off!
Stay away from my menthol Marlboro Ultra Lights!!

If this isn’t RACIST, I don’t know what is. What’s next, banning Black and Mild cigars?

Ah, but is “menthol weed” legal?

The problem is “menthol.”

Will menthols still be available in other countries?

I see an excellent business opportunity for organized crime.
