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.

We never won against the ranked teams. Now we made our head coach one the highest paid in the college.

Mizzou football fans and boosters need to make a decision. Are we as content as fans with the job Drinkwitz is doing. If winning 8, 9, or 10 wins a season is good enough, the keep giving Drinkwitz and his staff contract extensions.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade
