Canada banned menthol, and it only led to me switching what i smoked. Smoking is smoking. If you have an addiction, a ban is just another roadblock you'll have to deal with.
I think the measure is more targeted at preventing people from starting smoking. The menthol apparently alters how you process nicotine, and studies have shown menthol cigarettes to be more addictive by themselves, even ignoring the whole marketing aspect.
