Should we ban menthol cigarettes?The Biden administration thinks so, but in an election year, not so much. Here's the deal, menthol creates a smoother smoke and reduces irritation, masking the harmful effects of smoking. Menthol is also the popular choice among minorities - by a wide margin.So why ban menthol? It's not inherently more dangerous than smoking a regular cigarette, and smoking a joint isn't healthy for you either but we're going the opposite way with that. If you're going to ban it, then ban it all or just don't ban it period.
