If implemented, the FDA’s enforcement of any ban on menthol cigarettes and all flavored cigars will only address manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, importers and retailers. The FDA cannot and will not enforce against individual consumer possession or use of menthol cigarettes or any tobacco product.

This is not a prohibition. It's a business regulation. Make your own menthols if you want.

Alcohol is already extremely regulated in very similar ways. There are very strict guidelines on how alcohol is made and sold.

You already admitted in another post that you oppose the ban because you smoke menthol cigarettes yourself and don't want to be inconvenienced. You don't care that cigarette companies exploit people. You don't care that cigarette companies prey on black communities. You just don't want a tiny inconvenience in your life.

Read the article by the FDA. According to their research, the ban of the sale of menthol cigarettes is predicted to prevent the deaths of 633,000 people, including 237,000 African Americans. To you, a tiny inconvenience is more important than the lives of 633,000 people. Then you say that it's entirely their fault, as if it not possible that people were deceived, manipulated, and exploited.

This is a liberal mindset to think that consumption of a commodity is simply a relationship between the consumer and the commodity. The commodity is a relationship between the consumer and the producer. You are doing commodity fetishism. The menthol cigarette sale ban breaks this relationship. You can still roll your own menthol cigarettes.
