They tried banning flavored cigarettes a number of years back. Said they got children to smoke. Got promptly BTFO'd by the "that's waycist" crowd because blacks like menthols.

Every aspect of the flavored cigarette ban had me rolling my eyes. Especially the menthol exception.

And now with the ban on Vaping right before covid... In which one of the key ingredients in nicotine for vaping is an antiseptic used in hospital settings.

Seemed odd in the early days, and now it's making all too much sense.
