Ban on cigarettes...well sort of

The FDA has introduced a proposed a new law which was enacted today to ban cigarettes that are flavored.  The reason:
Because people aged 17 and younger are more likely to use cigarettes if they are flavored and will continue to use until age 25.  This makes it more likely that younger people will get addicted to cigarettes (nicotine).  Because of this, the FDA proposed the law that makes it illegal to sell flavored cigarettes.  The only flavored cigarette that is acceptable is menthol.  Anything else is strictly prohibited.
