From my understanding (could be wrong), menthols are only more harmful because they are more palatable. Adults should be able to smoke as they please as long as they aren't harming anyone else. If there is a worry about underage kids getting hold of them then that is an access issue, which we control at the point of sale. By all means let's tighten that up. I don't doubt the issues of aggressive marketing to people of colour, but that's an advertising issue, by all means let's ban advertising of tobacco products.
I think we can use a scalpel to find a happy medium rather than a mallet, and balance personal choice with protections.
