a flavor isn't a utility...is the cigarette unable to be smoked without menthol? does the tobacco grow stale?

It's a preferred flavor by many. It doesn't have to have a utility for me not to want them banned.

so basically yall are whining over a flavor going away while admitting nothing else changes about the function of a cig or its availability. i couldn't care less. sprite remix was a preferred flavor of many, yet it no longer exists, guess what, people moved on.

So what's the point if people are just going to move on to cigarettes without menthol? It's dumb and a waste of time and energy IMO.

i posted four links which explain why menthols are worse & disproportionately impact the black community, feel free to read because i'm not spoonfeeding it to you

and banning a flavor isn't some huge undertaking, they JUST did it with vapes since those flavors increased youth vaping, i'm all here for the same thing being done if it decreases smoking in the AfAm community.

I obviously disagree.
All the public ills "disproportionately inpact the Black community" food and alcohol in particular. Should we ban types of those to?

they're removing a flavor, not an item. if you want to smoke, boo hoo, you gotta smoke unflavored cigs - the cruelty, the overreach, mah freedumbs!!!!

So you don't want the FDA to do their job because people should have the choice to do anything...

Smart to avoid answering the question which reveals; You're cool with less freedom as long as it doesn't effect you.

It is noted.

Looks like you're mad that they are deciding to do their jobs and not submit to the will of corporate lobbyists.

The irony of you arguing for neoliberalism

Thursday’s announcement is the result of a lawsuit filed by anti-smoking and medical groups last summer to force the FDA to finally make a decision on menthol, alleging that regulators had “unreasonably delayed” responding to a 2013 petition seeking to ban the flavor.

The deadline for the agency’s response was Thursday. The FDA said it aims to introduce the regulations banning the flavor in the coming year.

The action would also ban menthol and fruity flavors from low-cost cigars, which are increasingly popular with young people, especially Black teens.

“Taken together, these policies will help save lives and improve the public health of our country as we confront the leading cause of preventable disease and death,” Mitch Zeller, the FDA's head of tobacco, said in a statement.

A type wouldn't. So let me ask again you wouldn't have a problem if some types of food and alcohol were being banned?
