This is our government out of control. Menthol cigs are more popular for some ethnic groups, so they have to be controlled. A government sponsored racist attack.

Tobacco is a legal product and adults should be allowed to make their own decisions.

Either ban all cigarettes or leave them alone. As a former smoker, menthol at that, to ban certain ones is going to target a certain audience no matter which way you go. What a person puts in his or her own body is that person's decision. Why increase the divisiveness among the American people?

What does race have to do with cigarettes? See KMIZ, you are part of the problem. Why must EVERYTHING be about race to the media. You hear all the time about stereotypes, and the media continues to push it.

It's not about cigarettes. It's about control. Our government is out of control.

It’s none of the government’s business what people choose to put in their bodies. Plus, to ban the tobacco products that’s the most popular with African Americans, as if they can’t decide what’s best for them, is incredibly patronizing if not racist.

Progressives, which make up the bulk of the city council, have no idea as to how to reduce crime. They will try and "ride out" this murder of the Stephens student and go back to Ignore, Avoid, Delay with their task forces and failed social programs.

The alumni are the ones who donate large sums for things like new stadiums. They are the ones who create this college culture of downtown bars by influencing University leadership and the Alumni Associations. A bunch of UM grads work in state government. Ban them, problem solved.

They are clueless. They will never hold the parents responsible because it will go against their identity politics. Start holding the parents accountable. Or at least get these kids to families who see the as blessings and not as income. Stop protecting horrible parents. Use common sense.

Start by banning taxpayer funded state employees from attending college athletic events at UM. Ban those collegiate license plates that DOR offers for a donation to the University. Ban companies from hiring UM graduates. Start stalking and doxxing state employees who are UM grads. Problem solved.
