there is no conclusive science to support a ban on menthol,

That's the wrong approach, there isn't a serious question about menthol being terrible for your lungs.

The best issue on this is race. Black people prefer menthols, this disproportionately affects black smokers. White people can still smoke their ciggs.

I don't like nanny states at the best of times, but effectively telling black people that their white leaders know whats best for them is some plantation era shit.

Luckily, menthol ciggs are really easy to make. The simplest way is doping a filter with a menthol/alcohol solution. Syringes are handy, you can just put a dab in the middle of the filter and let it dry.

Haven't met any smokers who do that besides me though.

Have you tried using ws-23 or something similar?

I haven't, how does that stuff compare to menthol?

Screw banning things. Can't we let adults be adults? I know my comment is just an emotional response with nothing to add, but seriously. Damn.
