Im normally against Govt doing this kind of thing, but in this case, Its about time they cracked down on tobacco!


Menthol cigs are marketed and advertised heavily in point of sale type ads, within the stores, they are very clearly directed at young people.

Menthol cigarettes have been around for 100 years. Ladies, loggers, cowboys, and smokers in general have always liked them. Kids, too, probably.

The FDA can do what it wants, but I expect they'll have a fight on their hands. Menthol is by far the most popular flavoring in all tobacco products and has been for a very long time.

It’s amazing how the tolerant left is so intolerant when they don’t agree with what other people want or do.

Let Mexico pay for those taxes, right along with the payment they send for "the wall". Wonder if that check showed up yet ?

I hate being around smokers, but none of my business if they smoke as long as I don't have to breathe it.
