Did anyone see that the FDA is considering banning menthol cigarettes? I'm pissed.

The FDA needs to fuck off.

Of course if that happens, I may be forced to quit as I don't like regular cigs much at all.

Same here. I'm assuming if they're banned though, that they may still be somewhat available... Clove-flavored cigarettes were banned in 2009 and a few local gas stationed owned by Middle Easterners still carry 'em.

One of the points mentioned in the NYT article I read cited FDA concern that if menthol is banned, it will create a huge underground market, as 80% of black smokers choose menthol.

Yeah, the whole FDA thing annoys me.

I remember growing up and enjoying the smell of second hand smoke. My grandfather was a smoker and i have fond memories going to this townie watering hole that served great bar bites as a kid. That smell of stale cigarettes adds a strange ambiance to a bar.

Started with Marlboro Reds, then went to Golds. I don't know what happened but i started getting weird anxiety attacks with Marlboros. I switch to Camel Silvers than to Golds. I love Golds a ton. Super smooth and appetizing on the palette.

I have to stop smoking though. My gut gets all rowdy and it clearly affects my workouts. Love smoking though.

I have to say. I quit smoking and drinking a few weeks ago. My body has been going absolutely fucking crazy. It switches between horrible feelings and feeling amazing.
It's pretty crazy.
