There are so many things that the government does that makes no logical sense, but they do it any way.
Take putting the use of grass on the ballot and legalizing it, while they propose outlawing menthol cigarettes.
It is not the fact some will get mad about it (and find a way to put menthol on the smokes they use) that concerns me.
It is the senseless regulation of a product people choose to use knowing the risks.
At the core is the concept of some that governments job is to protect those who do not want to be protected! Laws banning prostitution, types of allowed consensual sex and foods are all examples of it.
Take dog meat, if some one wants to raise dogs to serve as meat on the table, let them. Just make it illegal to eat some one else's dog. Is some one wants to sacrifice a lamb, let them! It is not the governments place to regulate the means of how a lamb can be processed or used.
Get used to it! The government wants to think for you and this is but one more example of over regulation.

again the government does not care about peoples feelings. they only want you to think that by caring about what amuses them at the moment.
their research is dead on tho.
the people who smoke menthol are higher in younger ages.. i'm an older age bracket so is my father. and if it happens. my dad will blow a gasket. he is old and not working anymore and doesn't need to smoke.
for me tho i think it would be great. it might even help me stop smoking. i hope to stop prior to that and oddly it does get easier quitting i would of never thought that!
