Comments on: Banning menthol cigarettes? https://www.overlawyered.com/2008/08/banning-menthol-cigarettes/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:23:02 +0000 hourly 1 By: Ralph https://www.overlawyered.com/2008/08/banning-menthol-cigarettes/comment-page-1/#comment-26251 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 12:43:58 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=7367#comment-26251 You know, once they ban menthol cigarettes, which are favored by blacks, some one will make the argument that allowing the continued sale of other cigarettes has a disproportionate impact on the choices of blacks, who have shown that they do not prefer non-menthol cigarettes. Voila! – a good reason to shut down sales of ALL cigarettes.

BTW, I don’t smoke, never have, and would never marry/date someone who does. Can’t stand the smell. But I think that our society would be MUCH more dangerous to live in if cigarettes were banned. See e.g., “War on Drugs”, “Prohibition”.
