This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Menthol cigarettes just make it easier to get cancer than plain ones.

Were you a smoker, and did you ever smoke menthols? Menthols give a bit different feeling, but I wouldn't say it's that much "easier" to smoke.

The EU did the same thing to ban menthols a couple years ago, and yet I can still go to the store and buy cigarettes with menthol taste. These new fake-menthols surprisingly feel even smoother to smoke than classic menthols, but it's still not a big difference compared to unflavored cigarettes IMO.
