    I don’t know about the USA, but I see tobacco smokers every day and very rarely see marijuana smokers.

        Well, then the prohibition has pretty much fulfilled its purpose.

          When the government makes something illegal, they don’t do it in hopes of millions of people doing it anyways in private.

            Maybe not for other laws, but it makes sense for drugs. The important thing is that people should have the right to breathe non-poisonous air, and forcing smokers to hide their smoking achieves that.

              This ban is on the sale of menthol infused cigarettes. It wouldn’t criminalize smoking menthols and there’s plenty of other ways to infuse cigarettes with menthol or buy a synthetic alternative.

              If your point is at all that this prohibition would in any way, shape, or form help fulfill that goal, that is incorrect.

                If you read the comment chain, we’ve been talking about drug prohibition in general, not this specific ban.

                  I’ve read the comment chain, it just seemed like you were implying that this ban would achieve some kind of beneficial outcome.

                  It’s fine if I’m wrong, that’s okay. I’ll take that loss. That’s not my point. I just think this ban has no positive effects whatsoever and I’m just hoping people realize that if true.
