Sir, this is the internet, we don’t do that here.

The only problematic thing is the mental gymnastics you’re doing, we are talking about an addiction, not a profession, you are making a false equivalence. And although 85% of menthol cigarette users are black people, you are simply ignoring the other 25% and the remaining passive smokers.
This is a health issue, and aims to reduce the harm caused by addiction to the population, if the proposal were to criminalize the use of mentholated cigarettes I would see a point in your argument, but we are just talking about banning the sale, the only thing that will happen is that users of mentholated cigarettes will have to smoke something else. This is not a political issue.
And to make it clear how ridiculous this talking point is: If black people were 85% of crack users and the government banned its sale, would you come here and say that this is racist?
Wait… generally racists tend to want the race they hate to diminish, you banning a vice that is mainly associated with this race doesn’t seem like an act of racism to me, but the opposite.
And according to this article or this article, although both types of cigarettes are equally harmful chemically, mentholated cigarettes encourage the habit of smoking more and inhaling more increasing the consumption of carcinogenic chemicals.
“So, I’m more conservative leaning (European wise) but everywhere I go - the communities are usually filled with so much hate.” Maybe there is some correlation between the two things…
Seriously, how is this racist? When exactly did menthol cigarettes become a race? I don’t understand what kind of argument you are trying to make here.
something something broken watch be right
I love your optimism…
because you’re on the internet and people say this ironically as a joke. If you’re being honest, sorry this sucks but it is what it is.
something something It’s a feature, not a bug…
Bye, don’t let the door hit you on the way out…
important detail, this news is from last year
let me get this straight, the government doesn’t regulate something and leaves it to the “invisible hand of the market”, it becomes corrupt and fraudulent, so the solution to the problem is to nationalize it to solve a problem that you created yourself by not regulate? Of course because the government doesn’t have a drop of corruption in the system. You need to stop drinking toilet water!
for money! this isn’t a charity that anyone can take as they need it, you have to pay. Since that way we will nationalize all stores and websites, walmart, cosco… you know what, my fault for feeding the trolls, and I should have seen that the comment came from a lemmygrad user.
and Jerry rig everything converted a hummer to EV, and the project is already complete, so you can get a better idea of the work involved
I understand dividing the company since they even make cars (Rivian), now… nationalize? What justifies nationalizing a private company that does not provide anything critical to the country? you have to be trolling…
What happened that suddenly the FCC decided to work?
good luck with that, they’ve been trying for 20 years
“Modi likes to pose macho” I had no idea he did these antics too, but it’s not surprising, every authoritarian conservative likes to pose as a strongman. Putin, Xi, Trump, Bolsonaro…
