The Biden administration said Friday it would again delay a decision on a regulation aiming to ban menthol-flavored cigarettes, citing the “historic attention” and “immense amount of feedback” on the controversial proposal by the Food and Drug Administration.

“This rule has garnered historic attention and the public comment period has yielded an immense amount of feedback, including from various elements of the civil rights and criminal justice movement,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement.

    AGAIN… I say we should allow low level stuff but ban artificially concentrated versions. People should be allowed to grow and use tobacco, but having a premade pack of mentholated butts with additives and shit in the filter that is proven to enhance addiction… that should be illegal. coca leaves fine - cocaine and crack illegal. I believe this across the board and even go as far as regular fermented brews fine - distilled liquor for drinking illegal.

    I believe this would lower a lot of suffering on earth.
