"partially on grounds that race-specific marketing for a more addictive product is a social injustice."

They even manage to get in some race baiting whilst banning them as well

It's another EU inspired control freak directive so we'll be able to reverse it soon if we want, once we get our FREEDOM BACK and TAKE BACK CONTROL.

If anything it'll annoy other EU countries more? In my experience there are far more Menthol fans on the continent than here.

Rothmans King Size for everyday use
Silk Cut for rolling a joint
Mentholated cigarettes for when you crash at your mate's place, you've run out of cigarettes, and you need to nick one of his mother's.

Those are the rules I grew up with.

Wasn't it because they seemed to think that children favoured them? And also that people assumed they were less dangerous than non menthol?
