Anyone who smokes knows that menthols are worse for you. The urban legends about the added fiberglass or switching to menthols when you have bronchitis to make yourself cough out more crap are both hella common in low income communities where people smoke. Considering how little advertising there is for nicotine nowadays, I must have missed the period where they advertised that menthols were healthier. If anything, the people that smoked them liked them because they were harsher but had a flavor.
Either way, it's been seen over and over that prohibition doesn't work. Ban menthols. People will find a way to dip their cigs in VaporRub or something. Ban vaping. People learn to make their own vape juice and sell it. Ban alcohol and people will brew their own. And then people will get sick even worse than they did from the original substances because these modifications will be completely unregulated.
