The U.S. government’s plan to ban menthol cigarettes and cigars faces pushback as it not only has the potential to save hundreds of thousands of lives, it also wipes out billions in tobacco sales.
Dozens of interest groups have met with White House staffers to try to influence the process.

Unintended consequences…
Seems like government officials pick and choose what is banned. But alcohol has health risks so are they to ban them and regular cigarettes they all can affect your health
If banning menthol cigarettes saves thousands of lives, per annum, then surely ALL cigarettes ought be banned, measuring by the same metric… ?
Drug injection sites?
Idiotic
IF I WANT TO DO DRUGS, I PAY ORGANIZED CRIME. And I do it when I want drugs. This is stupid!
It is racist. The only way for it to not be racist is to Permanently BAN all tobacco products !
We (The black community) Do Not Care 😆. This is one hell of a title. If anything, everyone would just quit or move on to regular cigs. This is a waste of air time and once again shows why I don't care for the news. I've been smoking menthol for a long time and didn't flinch when I heard that it would banned. Next topic.
They just won’t stop! How about fixing the high violent crime. Don’t worry about what someone wants to do that doesn’t harm innocent people. Please.
Hahahahaha this title is asinine.
Nope. Banning things is not the road you want to go down. It a downhill road covered in oil and once it starts its going to be almost impossible to stop. Next will be cigars, then alcohol, and on and on. Jen Psycho up there throwing out ridiculous, unsubstantiated numbers for shock value can happen to ANYTHING they want to try and ban.

Nicotine and hemp is a problem for the spike protein in which your body manufactures this poison. Do some research people.
