President Joe Biden will soon roll out a national ban on menthol cigarettes and other flavored cigars, a move that is vehemently opposed by some black law enforcement officers and drug policy experts despite its billing as a public health initiative.
They specifically fault the ban for not including cessation options, including counseling, treatment, and other education programs, which will, in turn, push smokers to purchase illicit cigarettes on the black market, rather than quit cold turkey, once menthol is no longer legally available. "The black market demand will increase, and there's no guidelines for police. You're taking a health issue, which the concern is health — health equity in the black community, and you're basically putting it in the hands of police officers," he continued."You go from a health issue and make it a criminal issue and you've given police no guidelines. More encounters with the police are going to be dangerous.
