The mother of Eric Garner sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Thursday asking him to oppose the Biden administration’s proposed ban on menthol cigarettes, which she says could lead to “increased negative encounters with police in communities of color.”
“Senator Schumer, you have been a longstanding advocate for the people of New York and have shown a commitment to tackling tough issues with both courage and compassion,” Gwen Carr wrote in a Nov. 9 missive exclusively obtained by The Post.
“It is with respect for your role and faith in your leadership that I urge you to lend your voice to those of us who harbor legitimate concerns about the FDA’s proposed menthol ban.”

Rumor has it Biden’s next move is to ban crunchy peanut butter because it causes problems for people with dentures.

When Canada got rid of menthols, there was a lot of grumbling from the Asian community
Gov’t. tries to make it look like only kids are buying these, so they “have to be banned” ...
Smoke Kools. Open them from the bottom of the pack.
Eric Gardner is a victim of stupid liberal laws.
Another time when l thought it was the bee but it wasn’t
Smoking is nasty, filthy and disgusting.
Yup.
Confiscatory tax rates.
That’s why he was selling “loosies”, because the NYC twatwaffles made a pack of smokes cost $20 or whatever it is.
Another name for the black market is the free market. They never learn either. State-legal Marihuana is a huge debacle, because they set the tax rates way, way too …. high. So only tourists by the officially sanctioned dope. Cartels move in, huge grow operations and sell on the side.
As a general rule, people who have never ran a successful business should not be involved in government in any way. The damage they do is incalculable.
But amazingly he lived until age 89 - a few months short of 90!
But that might have been due to all of the exercise he got from dragging the
oxygen tank around behind him for those last 10 years. (Yes, he did that.)
“Smoking takes ten years off your life. Well it’s the ten worst years, isn’t it folks? It’s the ones at the end! It’s the wheelchair, kidney dialysis, adult diaper ______ years. You can have those years! We don’t want ‘em, alright?”

What a shame that we're back to 1960's.
Blacks need to learn to obey their Democratic massahs—lol.
That’s almost funny!
“Smoking is nasty, filthy and disgusting.”
It is almost as nasty, filthy and disgusting as the Nanzis who want to ban it.
Smoke ‘em if you got’em
My grandmother (who I write about a lot) lived to be 106 after smoking one cigarette a day after dinner her whole life.
I guess if it was not for that evil tabakky she might have made it to 107!
That’s right. Keeps the filter end clean.
In the poorly done remake of one of my favorite movies (1960 version), the Time Machine (2002) had an academic try to convince the time traveler Dr. Alexander Hartdegen in 1899 to give up his obsession with the time theory.
“Why don’t you do something productive for society like working with that professor’s research on the beneficial health effects of cigarette smoking?”
