How did this Menthol ban even come about. It’s stupid.

It seems menthol causes more severe chronic respiratory illnesses than non-menthol smokes. Go figure.

Lefty thinking:

“Black people are so stupid that we have to stop them from smoking dangerous menthol cigarettes. Marijuana is fine though.”

Leftists have to find something to ban or they are not happy. They wake up and ponder what they can try to get banned next. It is their goal in life. It is their whole life. They live to ban. They are not happy unless they are making others unhappy -- and they do that by banning things.

Part of the whole craze on the left to control “flavored” nicotine products because they think that is marketing to kids.

Because Menthol “tastes” better than normal Cigs. The idea was to make them less appealing to kids.

Well the whole candy vape thing stole a march on it, but it was supposed to go into effect soon.

What they didn’t realize is a lot of African Americans love menthols.

Probably a carry-over from the concern about flavored vapes, snuff, and chewing tobacco. The idea there was that flavored tobacco would turn kids into users.

The connection’s a lot harder to find with menthol cigarettes. Kools have been around so long that nobody finds them especially cool.
