I used to smoke, long, long ago. Thankfully I quit.
Among my family and friends, you'd only smoke menthol when you were sick, because the prevailing thought was it either helped or was easier when your lungs were dealing with the problems associated with cold/flu. No idea if there is even a shred of truth to that, but the point is, you only had menthols in situations like that. You weren't walking around smoking menthols regularly every day. That was considered weird.
I've since learned that in some communities, like in some black communities for example, methols are popular as a default. Had no idea.
Anyway, if that is indeed the case, I can see a lot of pushback against this for unfairly target some groups that prefer Menthol over non-methol... such as as the black community. So if this gets struck down, it would probably be for some reason like that.
All that is an aside though. The real thing I'd like to say is... don't smoke. Not worth the money you lose, and not worth the side-effects. Also rather you realize it or not, you are turning a lot of people in your life off who don't want to be around smoke or smokers, putting yourself at a social disadvantage as well.
