FDA Bans Menthol Cigarettes And Flavored Cigars

[Sukairain]

I am 36 hours into my latest attempt to quit smoking. I'm a big 'menthol' smoker too. I don't know if you can call it menthols though. In Australia, the only menthols we can get are basically regular cigarettes with a flavour pod embedded into the filter. You squash the pod before you light up and it saturates the foam with the menthol flavour. So the tobacco isn't actually flavoured, I don't know if American menthols are different.

In any case, people should use it as an opportunity to quit. I can't stand regular cigarettes, they taste too bad compared to menthols. If I couldn't get hold of my preferred flavour I would stop smoking altogether.

Also fukking hell I want to complain again about the state of the board. I haven't been able to post for fukking four days. Somehow today the text box to write your post in decided to work. I expect it won't be working by tonight though

This is not good.....This can lead to Black people being harassed for menthol cigarettes, then it could lead to laws and arrest of Black people

Y'all really trying to make banning menthol cigarettes racial?

What city, what side, what state, what black public school you from?

I have always smoked menthols but I cannot find a reason to complain about this.

If it makes me quit smoking then that's actually great

It’s ok for little boys to be girls in the eyes of democrats, but smoking…. Now that’s where they draw the line.

you already have to be 21 to smoke in most states. 18 in others. So if someone starts smoking at 21 they could do it for decades.


We already have wealth hoarded while everyone else fight over the rest. Why take what little vices are available.


fukk the kids. They don’t care about no damn kids. Ban cigarettes and cry healthcare, but there is no universal healthcare. The tobacco industry is worth over $100 billion dollars.


Lastly, they’re doing this to protect the kids, but guns are ok.

I think people are slowly figuring out that democrats in this country are actually pretty far right

There aren’t many true left politicians in this country
