Since May 2020, cigarettes and roll-your-own (RYO) tobacco with a characterising flavour of menthol have been banned in the European Union (EU) owing to the European Tobacco Products Directive (EU TPD). Other characterising flavours were banned in 2016. Cigars, cigarillos, pipe tobacco, heated tobacco and tobacco accessories are exempt from the ban.
Despite the ban, a substantial proportion of adolescents and young adults in Denmark still smoke menthol cigarettes (29% pre-ban vs 20% post-ban).
Circumvention of the menthol ban
Flavoured tobacco accessories
Various types of tobacco flavour accessories to insert into cigarette packs, cigarette filters and RYO tobacco have been introduced to the Danish market. These products enable users to customise their cigarettes with menthol and sweet flavours.
I refuse to believe blacks vote in significant numbers at all. They have a hard time following any rules of a civilized society. I think Democrats just use their names to fill up ballots. Dems don't get caught cheating and voting in place of an eligible voter because the black voter never bothered to vote in the first place.
Black people never voted 90%. They live in precincts with terrible processes that ensure Democrats (and establishment R's too!!) will always be able to steal as much of the black vote as they need.
Yep. It's so common with blacks and so uncommon with whites that it's actually pretty notable and weird. Not saying there's no white people who smoke menthols or vis versa, but it's such a clear line between the two that it's pretty odd.
Yeah when I smoked for 2 decades it was Camel Filters then Marlboro Reds. Slowly switched to menthols after the USA added that chemical to put out cigarettes during Obama's 1st term I think. Regular cigarettes had a funky taste. Switched back to Reds before quitting but as a white menthol smoker for a few years I was definitely in the minority.
I preferred menthol when I smoked. Rather than your mouth tasting like you licked a burnt asshole it tasted like you licked a burnt asshole with a tic tac up in it.
According to an anonymous source familiar with the thinking of black people, watermelon makes black men rape white women. We must ban the devil's vine!
Tendies are never going away. I know it's a meme, but there's a ton of kids that basically live on them and would starve without them. Well, at least for a couple of days until they felt hunger for the first time.
Tobacco industry is conservative. Pot industry is liberal.
Everything the Democrats do is in furtherance of their graft. They promote industries that kick back to them, and disadvantage industries that refuse to 'donate'.
How’s the tobacco industry conservative? I’ve never heard that before. You figure it’d be a Dim thing since Dims tax the living fuck out of them and libs love everything that generates taxes for their little groups.
I believe that, I used to smoke and bought ciggies from neighboring states. NJ vs PA was a $4/pack difference over a decade ago just from taxes. I’m sure now it’s even crazier.
Basic economics. That which you want more of, you subsidize. That which you want less of, you tax.
Through medical marijuana laws, pot is effectively subsidized for millions of people. Tobacco taxes are a great way for Democrat governments to get the forced donations they want from the producer, from the consumer instead.
It’s basic economics when addiction isn’t a factor. With something addictive like tobacco, taxes don’t stop people from doing it - they just pay more and more. Essentially tobacco taxes are just taxes on the poor. But whatever, it’s the only tax the poor actually pay, idc.
Imagine if the government taxed heroin or fentanyl - there certainly wouldn’t be less addicts. Just a richer government.
Ask a liberal to explain why we had to pass a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, but apparently now can ban drugs/cigs on a whim (I don't partake of any, but this is stupid unconstitutional...)
Tobacco is proven to cause cancer, while cannabis, believe it or not, has never been shown to cause cancer on its own, and even has anti neoplastic qualities
Damn. I guess since I missed out on bitcoin I know what I'm investing In. I'm gonna buy every pack of menthols from Miami to Cape Cod. Then I'll be king of the blacks. /s for those who can't take a joke.
Smoking rates going back up since the FDA and cities like NY and shit been pushing e-cig bans ( mainly the mom and pop shops ). People used them to quit smoking and now they are banning flavors, banning sales, etc...except for the shit cig-a-likes made by tobacco companies
It's easy to see how vaping has just become a replacement for smoking for people, which may also have its own slew of side effects.
The problem is when the government steps in and starts limiting shit. People will be pushed to one alternative or another, so inevitably, legislation is having a noticeable impact on private industry (proving the US has no free market economy) and a negative effect on the freedom of the citizens.
I don't get it. Is the goal with the ban to violently enrage the black gangbanger community?
Because banning Newports is going to violently enrage the black gangbanger community.
Isnt that racist?
Menthol cigarettes will be going for what marijuana cigarettes used to go for
Need a picture of an Indian on a reservation rubbing his hands together hiding behind a tree

cleveland guardians?
They will ALWAYS be the Indians.
not in clownworld my man
Blackhawks and Seminoles are based.
Sheeeiiit
Biden hates "super predators"
They get what they voted for.
Nobody voted for that.
I recall seeing big, fat sheboons in BLM masks double scanning tubs of ballots on “election” night on video - I consider that voting, in a way.
Sheboon?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9G0-4TWwew
cheating is not voting
I was being glib.
Isn't everything?
The Biden Administration should be banned from oxygen
That is anti semitic.
Antiseptic you mean
Antichrist you mean
I am not particularly religious. I will leave that word for your people to play with.
But black people will still vote 90% demonrat.
Shame!
Do you really think they consider actual "votes"?
I refuse to believe blacks vote in significant numbers at all. They have a hard time following any rules of a civilized society. I think Democrats just use their names to fill up ballots. Dems don't get caught cheating and voting in place of an eligible voter because the black voter never bothered to vote in the first place.
Black people never voted 90%. They live in precincts with terrible processes that ensure Democrats (and establishment R's too!!) will always be able to steal as much of the black vote as they need.
Irrelevant if we don’t fix the rigging.
Not if you take away their memfal cigrettes.
This proves 100% that they don't need anyone's vote.
Do you wants joggers to jog? Because this how you get joggers jogging.
Inner city "youths" hardest hit...
Is that what they typically smoke, menthol?
Yep. It's so common with blacks and so uncommon with whites that it's actually pretty notable and weird. Not saying there's no white people who smoke menthols or vis versa, but it's such a clear line between the two that it's pretty odd.
White women, even Becky types love menthol cigarettes. They like Camels tho, not Newport’s
I remember my friend and me would steal cigs from his mom whenever we could. Menthol Virginia Slims blech
True. I smoked menthols, but couldn’t stand Kools or Newports. I still miss it.
Yeah when I smoked for 2 decades it was Camel Filters then Marlboro Reds. Slowly switched to menthols after the USA added that chemical to put out cigarettes during Obama's 1st term I think. Regular cigarettes had a funky taste. Switched back to Reds before quitting but as a white menthol smoker for a few years I was definitely in the minority.
I preferred menthol when I smoked. Rather than your mouth tasting like you licked a burnt asshole it tasted like you licked a burnt asshole with a tic tac up in it.
Burnt assholes, now with free tic tacs on the inside that you have to dig with your tongue to get to.
I don't think I've ever met a black smoker who didn't smoke menthols
I used to work with a black man that smoked Chesterfields. Damn those were strong (and tasted nasty).
Not only African-Americans but Hispanics (34%) smoke menthols more than White people (24%).
https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/basic_information/tobacco_industry/menthol-cigarettes/index.html
It's not a universal truth, but I'm betting statistically speaking, a higher number of minorities smoke menthol.
They’ll still find a way to blame conservatives, especially white protestant male conservatives.
Black vote implodes
They don't need black votes when they have dominion and Soros bux to steal every election ever.
Nah, they’ll just blame wypipo as usual and not even connect it to the Communists.
No it won’t.
That is raysiss... Next they'll ban fried chicken.
Watch out grape soda.
Watch out Hennessy
According to an anonymous source familiar with the thinking of black people, watermelon makes black men rape white women. We must ban the devil's vine!
Watch out Black & Miles (Milds)
Watermelon too.
Watch out Tang
and red, purple, and orange drank. the kind in plastic milk jugs. That shit needs to be baned!
Hold on there. They can leave our fried chicken alone. Fried chicken is off limits.
Tendies are never going away. I know it's a meme, but there's a ton of kids that basically live on them and would starve without them. Well, at least for a couple of days until they felt hunger for the first time.
No not tendies. REAL chicken. Fried. With collard greens, mac and cheese (real, not out of a box), cornbread, sweet tea, and peach cobbler.
Mac and cheese made with government cheese and real pasta...
Oh hell naw.
He just got tired of sucking Obama off every night and having that newport taste in his mouth.
I always figured Michael was a smoker. Explains his daughter.

Iirc Government makes more from cigarettes than tobacco companies do.
I believe that, I used to smoke and bought ciggies from neighboring states. NJ vs PA was a $4/pack difference over a decade ago just from taxes. I’m sure now it’s even crazier.
About 8-10/pack now depending on brand (PA)

Portugal legalized all drugs and had a massive drop in addiction.
This.
Ask a liberal to explain why we had to pass a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, but apparently now can ban drugs/cigs on a whim (I don't partake of any, but this is stupid unconstitutional...)
Portugal has no issue using death squads
Source? I've never even heard a mention of this before.
I know some Amish tobacco farmers
Tobacco is proven to cause cancer, while cannabis, believe it or not, has never been shown to cause cancer on its own, and even has anti neoplastic qualities
Got any more of that anti neoplastic?
Then they can sit at home sleep all day and stay up all night smoking weed while you pay for it. It's the joggers ultimate form.
At least their aren't commiting crime if they are passed out on the couch
Doing the important work for our country. /s
Corn pop was a KOOL dude.
glad to see their tackling the important issues
Courting that black vote.
Nah they’re stabbing it in the back
thatsthejoke.jpg
Really going after the big problems. But lets end title 42 and flood the country with even more rapist and cartel members. FJB
What tha hail? Aren’t there more pressing issues? Also why can’t these idiots help themselves from trying to control EVERYTHING they don’t like?!
Here comes the Joe Biden meme with the Newport sweat suit
So our economy is spiraling out of control downward, our border is wide open, gas prices are sky rocketing...
But let's ban menthol cigarettes and make a federal department to control speech....
Man they are going to get destroyed in november
Or this move shows they don’t need votes. They can create whatever result they want.
This sucks because I enjoy when the milfs around town smoke their Marlboro menthol light 100s.
You know if they smoke, they poke.
That or if they vape and you see them constantly fidgeting with it and gnawing on it
He just lost the black smokers vote. FYI they've been banned in communist Canada for years.
Gas stations will just sell menthol sprays that say "not for use on tobacco products"
Oh good, they're creating another underground black market. Wonderful. Yeah, that's important.
Which one is menthol? Is that the vaping stuff? Clearly I know nothing.
Menthol is the type dads go to the store for and never comes back.
Only now they have an excuse.
lol
Cigarettes that taste like Vicks VapoRub
So they clear your sinuses and give you lung cancer at the same time? Sounds like a zero sum game!
Ironically you’re not wrong. I’m white and non-menthols make me cough badly. Guess I’ll have to vape again
They relax airways and allow more dense delivery of nicotine, and I think they are more addictive as a result
Newports, Kool, most cigs in a green pack, etc.
Thankee
Newport sells non menthol
Damn. I guess since I missed out on bitcoin I know what I'm investing In. I'm gonna buy every pack of menthols from Miami to Cape Cod. Then I'll be king of the blacks. /s for those who can't take a joke.
YOU THINK WE CAN'T FUCKING TAKE A JOKE HERE??! GET OUT!!
Gimme Dats gonna be pissssed
When are they not?
Obama made menthol cigarettes exempt from his cigarette tax. One of the first things he did as president. Now his sidekick does this. Weird shit.
Can’t people make their own decisions? So fucking stupid
No decisions for you!
that ban seems awfully rayciss
He just lost the black vote.
Talk about losing the black vote with one single decision!
Laughs in Indian reservation
THAT'S RACIST MEME !!
In related news. They are also banning malt liquor.
. . . And all flavored cigars.
4chan needs to start spreading Henny and malt liquor are next!
Not Kool with me and I don’t even smoke.
#PedoJoe war on blacks continues

Because banning Newports is going to violently enrage the black gangbanger community.
This regime is so god damn clowny and inefficient I'm legitimately questioning if this picture is real or not.
Well, there goes the black vote for the Dems....
