    oh ok i see so when biden tries to do a menthol cigarette ban it's public health and social safety but when hezbollah tries to do a menthol cigarette ban it's black marketeering and terror financing. that really helps narrow the viewfinder on the lathe, thanks

    I keep hearing about this menthol ban, for years I feel like, is it actually happening? When? I thought it did already (I don't smoke) but then someone at the homeless encampment pulled out a pack to share a few weeks ago lol

    Rep. Mark Green (R., Tenn.), the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said there is compelling evidence to indicate that Hezbollah will take "advantage of this new black market in illicit tobacco products and [use] the profits to fund their nefarious activities."

    DC Think Tanks are straight up writing fan fiction and passing it off as policy

    i was literally just contemplating a bit about how we should ban menthol because our youth needs to be STRONG, Real Cigarette Smokers

    unreal that our delicious media would deliver a more ridiculous premise, earnestly
