I always hated menthols. I can barely stand them, and only because I'm so addicted.

"the agency said it would move to outlaw two traditional tobacco products that disproportionately harm African-Americans: menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars."

What does this mean? Are menthols insanely more harmful than regular cigarettes or something?

Anyway, I can imagine quite a few people would not be happy with this.

Menthols, like kreteks, alleviate the obvious physical symptoms of emphysema while still causing it. Thus, you're not going to hack and wheeze as much, which means you can smoke more and more often, causing COPD to progress faster than otherwise.

They're generally not flavored (over here anyway), and not wrapped in paper.
There's just not much of a market, apparently.

the agency said it would move to outlaw two traditional tobacco products that disproportionately harm African-Americans: menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.

So can we ban dip since that effects white people disproportionately as well?

By using my brain for 2 seconds, cigarettes are very addictive so removing someone's brand or flavor could make people act irrationally and Newports are the most popular brand of menthols by a pretty wide margin.

but then why focus in on one brand, "Newport" instead of just saying "there will be riots when menthols are pulled"?

the way the original post phrased it, by singling out "Newport", indicates that (s)he thinks the response will be different for Newport than for other brands. when people single something out of a group like that they're indicating that it's an outlier for some reason. im curious as to why.

It probably would. Because Newports are the highest selling menthol cigarettes by a wide margin so more people would be affected.

Pretty much but Aspirin won't listen to any of that hes dead set on my posting meaning whatever is in his head rather than the obvious.
