Thank goodness some hookah smokers are affluent white college students

The FDA is addressing menthol smokes, not Biden. Local Police will not be directly enforcing the end of the product. It is a Federal issue, thus Federal enforcement. I would suspect The ATF would be taking care of it. It's in the name of the agency. Just like when other flavored tobacco products ended, this will be a non issue. Less than 15% of Americans smoke anyway.

—>“The FDA is addressing menthol smokes, not Biden. “ For whatever reason, media articles that have both a positive and negative view of this whole thing is attributing it to Biden as well. Probably fair enough, since it was Woodcock who got directly appointed by the administration. So Biden most likely at least supports if if it’s going full steam ahead. theguardian.com

I don't know how much credence you can give the report given a goal has already been set, but I know when my gang started smoking behind our parents back at 12 and 13 years old, it was Salems.

We smoked Kools. My younger brother died from it in december; 61.

It is funny how nicotine, with less 'buzz' than most other popular drugs, has among the strongest hold on people trying to quit.

I'm glad I quit while still young.

Newport’s - those were menthol weren’t they? I remember girls smoking parliaments in college. Most of those hos were from New York and New Jersey.

I probably smoked 6 cigarettes my entire life and 4 of them were menthol. Cigars, different story but I haven’t smoked one in over a decade.

I take it from these comments that my opinion of the smoking ban on menthol is in the minority here 🤔

We love our racism in America!

^ In that case, why not ban all cigarettes?

Except for my car and house i believe people should be able to smoke where ever they want. I would like top ban the motherfuckers who think dousing themselves in cologne or perfume is acceptable - take a fucking shower why doncha

nicespice...

I agree with you. But that is what this Administration wants.... a race war between cops and POC. They want the police to have a bad image.

YOu are 100% correct when you talk about how this is just like other "drug" bans and it is mostly the "drug" of choice for POC.

Not to get overly political. But Democrats say they are for POC...but yet they are the ones who push these types of things.

BTW... I totally hate the whole BAN SMOKING crap. I dont smoke at all. But it is crazy how over reaching that group is and the scare tactics they use. Yes Big tabacco didn't tell the truth back in the 60's about things. But now is a totally different thing. Then they TAX THE SHIT out of it to try and make people quit or make poor people more poor.....ie: Most people who smoke cigs are blue collar workers or "poor" people.

Your assessment is spot on.

What I find crazy. Is you will have people say... LEGALIZE WEED.. and the next breathe say... BAN SMOKING TOBACCO. WTF.... smoke is smoke.

I dont want to get into an arguement about which is better for you and what not. But it all boils down to personal freedoms. How can you say... yep let people smoke weed... but NOPE.. cant let a person smoke a menthol. It is so stupid.

Hookah is nasty. The tobacco substitute is gross

If I'm gonna smoke anything its weed. Whats the point of smoking if you don't get high

I’m not a smoker. I don’t smoke hookahs or hookers.

I have no concern over any restrictions on menthol death sticks.
