the FDA is considering a ban on menthol cigarette sales - Lemmy.world

If you only ban the menthols, it’s racist. If you ban all cigarettes, it’s health-forward and progressive. Ban all cigs.

This apparently is an objectionable point to bring up… not sure if your downvotes are the “all or nothing” aspect, or the spotlighting of the blatant racist aspect, but it seems people don’t want to see this at face value :/

I’m with you though. The selective targeting is wrong. Equal ban or no ban is the right position to take IMHO.

And I agree with you. It’s not like I give a shit what anyone does to their own bodies, as long as it doesn’t harm or negatively affect anyone else.
