President Joe Biden plans to ban menthol cigarettes despite concerns from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that it would fuel racial injustice.

The ban on menthol cigarettes will be announced this week, according to CBS News and The Washington Post, citing people “familiar with the plan.”

The ACLU warned Biden the ban would have “serious racial justice implications” for people of color and more “negative interactions with local law enforcement.”

“Banning menthol cigarettes risks massive setbacks to our criminal justice system at precisely the moment we should be advancing reform,” the letter obtained by CBS News read.

But some public health organizations support banning menthol cigarettes because they are targeted at black smokers.

“For generations, tobacco companies have promoted menthol cigarettes to the African American community, preying especially on African American youth. The results are clear and grim,” said American Medical President Susan R. Bailey, MD said in a statement supporting the ban.

Over 20 million Americans smoke menthol cigarettes, according to the Food and Drug Administration, but a ban would not go into effect immediately.

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that the Biden administration was also considering a requirement for all tobacco companies to lower the amount of nicotine in all cigarettes.

The White House has declined to comment on the record about their plans for new cigarette regulations.

“We will review a range of policy options in line with the President’s public health goals,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

[oyarde]

[Danke]

I can see protecting Injuns from their dangerous ways, but teenagers? They have more common sense.

[phill4paul]

First they came for the menthols, then .....

[dannno]

So, I guess you guys didn't hear they are also looking at putting nicotine level restrictions on cigarettes?

[Pauls' Revere]

Nothing more important for the ACLU or the Government to worry about than Kool Cigarettes. Guess everything is fukking great. Reminds of the how NY regulated how much soda you could drink.

[Anti Globalist]

I'm not a smoker but people have a right to smoke menthol cigarettes if they want to.

[PAF]

Wonder how many Republicans smoke Kools?

Coincidentally, I quit smoking Kools and other menthols round about the same time I stopped being a republican. Both were bad for my health.

Maybe I’ll quit smoking altogether, though doubtful.

White Knights on one side ...

I used to smoke menthols. It feels like you're smoking a beautiful, tar-encrusted winter morning in New England. To deprive anyone of that pleasure would be criminal. I guess that's why the government thought they were just the one for the job.

Soda is very bad for your health. High fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and colors, preservatives, etc.

Therefore Biden will be banning Grape Soda.

Although the over reach of power sucks, there is a bright side. On the few times I bum a cigarette, I occasionally have a social cigarette, I won't have to hide my distaste when someone offers me a nasty menthol.

[Invisible Man]

For crying out loud!

Why couldn't the person who made that just lower that box down a smidge more, enough to fully conceal the tip!?

Try non-commercialized tobacco, any decent tobacconist can make suggestions.

For added entertainment value store your tobacco in a flap-top baggie with a pack of Zig-Zag whites in your breast pocket... (I did this for several years)

This is not even remotely funny.

Millions of menthol smokers will be extremely angry.

Anything can happen.

If this isn't a signal that they don't need votes to win anymore, I don't know what is.

Voting means nothing anymore. Secession is necessary.

So let's see....who hates black people more. Joe Biden or the ACLU? Hard to tell from this story.
