We are facing a food shortage and the FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION is worried about this.

Today is the first time I’ve heard of “flavored cigars”—I don’t have black teens but I do have white teens and I can’t say I’m fond of flavored vaping—nicotine is more addictive than heroin and cocaine I’ve heard…

menthol murders fewer people than the FDA’s
and CDC’s mandated “VAXES” that murder, abort,
induce cancer and neurologic changes and ...

the FDA has proven a drunk driver randomly
making laws will murder fewer people.
but then no one at the FDA will get lambos.

I kid you not, I was in line at a gas station.
The black dude in front of me ordered watermelon flavored cigars.
I couldn’t help it, I laughed.
He turned around and laughed.
It was an interesting moment.

I am not a smoker, but I’ve come to really detest Becerra.

I don’t think that’s a thing, but what do I know.
I had no clue, and was not prepared for the occasion.

When menthol cigarettes are outlawed, only outlaws will have menthol cigarettes.

Hundreds of illegal production facilities will spring up across the land.

I smoked cigarettes in my 20’s. I would occasionally be in the mood for menthol and would buy a pack; but for 99% of my smoking days, I did not care for them. I did not find them “more addictive” or even smoother. The menthol added harshness, IMO.

Nicotine is very addictive HOWEVER it is not what is harmful in cigarettes it is the tar and other chemicals, I smoked for 40 years, 10 years ago I switched over to an e-cig no smell, no yellow film on EVERYTHING in my house, no tar or chemicals, no more yellow teeth no more dirty ash trays it gave me the crutch of having something in my hand to puff on who ever invented it is amazing!!!
