The Biden Administration is Banning Menthol Cigarettes

I’ve never smoked a cigarette in my life.

Earlier this morning, I noted that the progressive mentality is inherently elitist and authoritarian. These people deeply care about things and want to control things that the rest of us don’t care or think much about. PMCs also clearly believe that they have a divine right to rule this country.

Guess what? The Yankee busybodies are it again:

Axios:

“The Biden administration is expected to announce a proposed ban on menthol cigarettes this week, the Washington Post reports.

Why it matters: Tobacco opponents and civil rights groups have said the industry disproportionately targets and hurts Black communities. Tobacco use remains a contributor to the leading causes of illness and death, especially among people of color. …

The big picture: This type of ban does not require congressional approval, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must first take public comment on the proposed rule before finalizing regulation. …”

Welcome to the new progressive era.

Joe Biden is planning to ban menthol cigarettes because he knows what is best for Black people.
