Banning menthol is the most insane idea since the start of the drug war. There are dozens of more dangerous drugs, and they're not even banning tobacco. This is like banning orange flavored soda ONLY. WTF.

Menthol is a force multiplier for messing up your lungs. I'll probably only be able to smoke these for a week before my lungs start hurting with how much I smoke. Even so, it isn't the government's job to protect us from menthol, that's some nanny state BS.

And of course it disproportionately affects black smokers, they often only smoke menthols. Democrats do love protecting black people from making their own decisions, since massa knows best.
