I can see a marked for a menthol air freshener.
It's not our fault if people dip the tip in our air freshener!

On the plus side, it’ll probably keep Barry away.

I already grow my own tobacco, I guess I need to plant some peppermint plants next year.

Those of us who had parents who remembered Prohibition kind of knew this...

Meanwhile, here in Wrangell, Alaska, they still have ash trays on the bar. The last frontier.

The prohibitionists don’t understand and will never learn. The nannies who increasingly run the country only make matters worse in attempting to stamp out the social ill of the day.

Obviously the failure of Prohibition has been forgotten.

Government attempts to tax/restrict/prohibit citizen’s vices have been going on since George Washington’s Whisky Rebellion.
And these attempts have not only failed every, single time, they’ve promoted resistance both open and covert.

I’ve been told its possible to make perfectly good menthol cigarettes by mixing a little peppermint oil into your tobacco and rolling your own, that way you can even adjust the flavor for as little or as much as you want.

In NYC during Prohibition the average time to get an alcoholic drink was thirteen seconds. But then, those political morons unleashed a crime wave of historic proportions during that time.

When is somebody going to claim that a menthol cigarette ban is racist?
Are they going to start banning flavored cigars and pipe tobacco too?

Think of the market. Who buys Kools?
I have a satiric vision, fit for the Onion.
Kools buyers forced to go “cold turkey” on their favorite tobacco addiction could bring on a reaction of riots and mayhem.
Then you’d have street dealers selling single ‘sticks’ of Kools, fighting for good street corners with the crack sellers.

The same thing will happen that happened with the clove cigs they “banned” several years ago. The makers simply switched the wrapper from paper to tobacco leaf and called them cigars...
