Flavored cigarettes were killed quite awhile ago, except menthol.

It's not going to be any more effective than the old yellow margarine ban. All that changes is the "Camel Crush" gimmick moving to being shipped outside of the cigarette.

The issue being that flavors are used to reel kids in. The cigarette industry doesnt get new customers from adults. Their adult customers die earlier. They need to start them young and flavors are a way of doing that. Especially now with vapes. Get them hooked young (they find ways to get them underage), and now you have a new adult customer once they turn 21, already hooked.

The cigarette industry should stop pumping money into cancer sticks and start pumping it into marijuana legalization. Theyd literally crush anyone with the amount of fields/production lines they have.

Most alcohol tastes like shit. Even "good" tasting alcohol is bitter / sour. And it's also the most prevalent & popular kind.

Most people are not stocking fridges full of Malibu and you can't buy it at the grocery store or gas stations.

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-proposes-rules-prohibiting-menthol-cigarettes-and-flavored-cigars-prevent-youth-initiation

Importantly, the FDA cannot and will not enforce against individual consumers for possession or use of menthol cigarettes or flavored cigars. If these proposed rules are finalized and implemented, FDA enforcement will only address manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, importers and retailers who manufacture, distribute, or sell such products within the U.S. that are not in compliance with applicable requirements. These proposed regulations do not include a prohibition on individual consumer possession or use.

Meanwhile, on amazon...

This is a useless and meddling ban that is trivially defeated.

Tons of things are already banned for public safety.
It won't happen because as said above, it's too big of a revenue stream for the government.
It's a disgusting habit and should have never been a thing.

Itp secondhand smoke isn't harmful.

Even brief exposure can be harmful, as well as third hand smoke. (Smoke residue on clothing and belongings)

I mean, it's a deliberately antisocial product.

It was constructed by a company to be addictive and harmful for the purposes of maximizing the profit they recieve from the people they kill. And they've run effective enough propaganda that you're here spouting bullshit about freedom as a justification.

people smoke in groups all the time, what do you mean antisocial?

i think people should be allowed to do what they want within reason. If the cigarette smoke offends you so much then walk away
