The economy is shrinking, thousands of illegal aliens are crossing the border daily, Russia has invaded Ukraine, but the Biden Administration is focused on the REALLY important issues of the day:
Banning menthol cigarettes.
Yes, now, thanks to Biden, if you're going to get lung cancer it can't taste so minty fresh anymore!
Thank goodness we're focused on the important things.
The U.S. government on Thursday released its long-awaited plan to ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, citing the toll on Black smokers and young people.
"The proposed rules would help prevent children from becoming the next generation of smokers and help adult smokers quit," said Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, in a statement.
He added that the ban would also be an "important step to advance health equity" [read: communism] by reducing disparities in tobacco use.
Gotta love how the government thinks it can solve human sin by throwing out socialist buzzwords.
The Food and Drug Administration said eliminating menthol cigarettes could prevent between 300,000 and 650,000 smoking deaths over 40 years.
Menthol accounts for more than a third of cigarettes sold in the U.S, and the mint flavor is favored by Black smokers and young people. Menthol's cooling effect has been shown to mask the throat harshness of smoking, making it easier to start and harder to quit.
So the Biden admin thinks that black folks smoke more menthols so the cigarette should be banned to help black people.
As we reported when the initial plan to ban menthol cigarettes was announced, the ACLU targeted the ban as "racist".
Remember, though: These race-obsessed policies show that the Democrats totally aren't racists!
The Biden admin's incompetence continues to show out full force.
