Woah, cigarettes are now racist

From justthenews.com , the Buyden administration is expected to propose a ban on menthol cigarettes.

And why you might ask?  Because they are preferred by smokers in the black community.

From the article:

The Biden administration is expected to propose a ban on menthol cigarettes this week as civil rights activists argue the  flavored-tobacco cigarettes disproportionately hurt black Americans.

So why not just ban all cigarettes?  Wouldn’t it therefore make sense that non-menthol cigarettes disproportionately hurt white Americans ?   So ban them too !!!

The proposal itself is racist – which, what else do you expect from the left ?  Are the civil rights activists saying Black Americans are incapable of deciding for themselves – as opposed to white Americans – about what to smoke and so big Government has to look after them ?   At best the proposal is an insult, at worst, it’s government racism.
