Gee, this isn't too patronizing essentially saying, "You poor uneducated black Americans. It's a good thing we're here now to save you from your bad habit of smoking menthol cigarettes because you obviously don't know any better. We know it's not your fault. Oh, and that goes for you LGBTQ folks, too. It is such a good thing we're in control now before all of you do any more damage to yourselves. You poor dears."

More riots. More calls to 911 because their local shop doesn’t carry them anymore. I know a lot of blacks smoke menthol cigarettes. That’s all the black inmates smoked when I worked in Corrections.

When I smoked I smoked menthols occasionally. Most of the time I smoked regulars, but occasionally I wanted menthols.

If this doesn’t kill the black Democrat vote, nothing will.

Of course, the Democrats have perfected cheating. Maybe they don’t need blacks any more.

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.

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?

Will menthols still be available in other countries?

I see an excellent business opportunity for organized crime.
