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.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
