DUMB. What is with the Democrat obsession with destroying tobacco?? And promoting pot?

Always trying to get rid of menthols & deliciously flavored tobacco products, shisha. "It might entice kids. Won't *someone* think of the children?? 🥺" Okay?...so adults just can't have delicious, nice things? Ever?

I understand not directly marketing to kids, which they have done & that's fucked up. Should never be allowed. But don't take our Zin, don't touch our shisha, don't fuck with the vapes, don't ban menthols & other flavors. Just...fucking stop. We're all being tax-raped to death & underpaid; leave our tasty vices alone. You'll straight fuck up the economy. Again.

Ostensibly, the reason for the war on tobacco is a mixture of public health concerns and reducing the economic cost of smoking for the American taxpayer.
