How does this affect consumers?
Is it really just another flavor like strawberry or peach?
Does this start kids smoking or is this a myth?

If you are a supporter of menthol cigarettes, and about 28% of the US smoking population is; this is good news.
If you are against menthol cigarettes or smoking in general - this is not good news. But what&#8217;s the big [...]]]></description>
