I know this was brought up awhile back, but it looks like it becoming official now

This should help him with the minorities....... not

That's a bold move, Cotton, during an election year where he will need the urban voters to show up and vote for him.

Not to stereotype, but if I was running for President, the last thing I would do is ban menthol cigarettes in an election year.

You're naive if you think this is an "election" year...

Touche!

Tobacco smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death nationwide, according to the FDA. In proposing the rules, the FDA cited its congressional authority to adopt tobacco product standards.

That's weird, abortion results in more deaths per year according to CDC data.

When is the FDA going to ban that?

---

Yeah if they kill the babies then the babies won't smoke them. Right?

Another day, 5 more regulations

Fair point, so you have to add the two totals together? Smoking kills 500k, Abortion 600k...so if not for abortion, smoking would kill 1.1M. I think you're on to something.

Thank you, my dear lord and savior government, for saving me from my own choices. You know so much better than I do.

If you care about Biden-banning menthol cigarettes, then you ain't black.

I've never smoked a menthol cig. Do they actually have that much of a more pleasant flavor?

Years ago Mike Synar was the congressman for a rural district in Oklahoma that I lived in at the time. He was popular and won reelections every time….. until he came out with legislation to ban all cigarettes.

That was the end of Mike Synar being a congressman.

Now we know why the black votes gonna swing to Trump!

It's like inhaling cold air. Its been well over a decade since I've had one but occasionally they could be enjoyable, but I smoked camel wides or Marlboro reds so not the best judge of quality.

As someone who, back in the day, smoked Marlboro lights pretty heavily, I can assure you menthols are the second worst thing ever rolled up in tobacco paper. Clove cigarettes are the absolute worst.

A couple of times when I was out and desperate I would bum a cigarette off my neighbor who smoked menthols, and then instantly realize how much I hate menthols, motivating me to scrounge up a couple of bucks (this was in the 90's) and head to the convenience store.

It does provide a cooling effect in the throat....but mainly its smoked after smoking weed so people feel it and don't try inhale all at once like with the weed and helps them overcome the numbing of the weed in the throat.

Didn't he say if you didn't vote for him you aren't black? But then forgot that the majority of menthol smokers are the same demographic?

Sadly, this country is full of clowns that actually think like this. Well, as much as you can call what goes on between their ears "thinking".

No. But I use to smoke Camel Crush, just in case I wanted menthol. I haven't smoked in over 10 years though

They are all disgusting unless you are addicted

I do the vape now, lungs much better, contrary to the reports of it being more unhealthy than cigs

If you buy E-Juice they make them without the popcorn lung chemicals and that is their big gripe on them. Just find the e-juice without them. VaporFi carries them

I haven't smoked a cig since I was 18, and even then, it was as short duration. It was a curiosity question.

And grapesoda likes to call republicans backwards for not legalising weed.

Obviously, I think each person has their preference. But for whatever reason, most black people like menthol, Newports mainly

Clove cigs were for new wave/goth girls.
