Biden Set to Ban Menthol Cigarettes

I seem to remember a lot of liberal neocons nattering endlessly about "authoritarianism."

Oh well. "Vigorous government action" of a coercive type isn't authoritarian as long as it advanced urban liberal women's core agenda about what you should and should not be doing.

President Biden's administration is expected to announce this week a ban on the sale of menthol cigarettes in a move that will leave many Americans without their preferred flavor.

The new policy would disproportionately impact black smokers. Menthol cigarettes are used by more than three-fourths of African-Americans who smoke. About a quarter of white smokers prefer menthol rather than unflavored cigarettes.

Anonymous Biden administration officials confirmed the timing of the announcement to the Washington Post.

Pardon the low-effort content-- I was out getting my heel x-rayed due to pain, and now I've got a power outage.
