The Biden administration said Friday it would again delay a decision on a regulation aiming to ban menthol-flavored cigarettes, citing the “historic attention” and “immense amount of feedback” on the controversial proposal by the Food and Drug Administration.
“This rule has garnered historic attention and the public comment period has yielded an immense amount of feedback, including from various elements of the civil rights and criminal justice movement,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement.
Can’t be pissin’ off those black voters before elections start! Ban Menthols after they’ve voted.
C’mon now, it’s possible Democrats are just waiting for the best time to shoot themselves in the foot with their own horrible policy decisions. Let us ban tiktok and piss off the youngest half of the nation first
TikTok users are manipulated into watching videos praising Osama bin Laden
Even if they don’t agree with the content, it might stretch the Overton window enough that they accept anti-American propaganda as something other people actually believe
I just don’t watch it based on personal choice, but I’m worried about young people whose opinions about the world are still quite plastic
I feel that everyone that disagrees with me is actually being manipulated since I’m the only person that uses reason and thinks critically is not a good perspective if you want to understand people and ultimately reality

Not all black voters smoke menthol. Menthol is an equal opportunity killer.
But some do - with enough correlation to matter.
Black voters are the only reason menthols aren’t already illegal. It’s an exception to bans on flavored cigarettes.
