Menthol cigarettes are an important health issue unless banning them may cost Biden votes. Once "black leaders" tell the Biden handlers it may tick off reliable voters, then the menthol cigarettes becomes less of an important health issue.

So it isn’t that critical of an issue then, I guess.

Banning menthols just enriches enterprising criminals.

Since the black community has drastically dwindled its support for Biden over the past few years,

Wow, yeah, they must be down to, what -- 98.7% now?

Cuz, ya know -- Orange Man Bad.

This was so obvious in the Army, that blacks smoked Kools.

I generally dislike playing the “race card” but just banning menthols is pretty racist against blacks. Try to ban all smokes if you think it’s important, not just the type one group prefers.
That being said, smoking is a nasty habit but it shouldn’t be banned

Democrats really think lowly of blacks, don’t they? Apparently, blacks are so stupid and helpless, they can’t decide for themselves what brand of cigarettes they want to smoke.

Anytime you ban a drug, you create a black market.
Democrats are too stupid to figure that out.

I’m not black. That I know. But I like extreme menthol little cigars that skirt the cigarette taxes and grape soda too.
Don’t care if people call it a racial stereotype. Live free or die.

I suppose if Biden knows the fix is in (again) for 2024, he couldn’t care less what the “black leaders” think.

It’s more important for Joe Biden to keep black people in the chains of menthol cigarettes so he gets their votes, than to set them free of their unhealthy addiction.
