Tobacco shares hit on US menthol ban fear

Shares in two tobacco giants have been hit by reports that US regulators are planning to ban menthol cigarettes.

Shares in British American Tobacco fell 9% to their lowest level for nearly five years, while Imperial Brands shares fell 4%.

A report in the Wall Street Journal claimed the US Food and Drugs Administration would impose the ban.

Wow, so they might ban Kool, Salem, I think Newport and all of the other menthol brands?

I was once at a convenience store and this black woman actually broke into a comedy skit about racial profiling, I wish I could remember it verbatim, she said something like "okay, I want 2 packs of Newport and 2 40 oz. Colt 45 40 ouncers".... it was something like this. I thought it was pretty funny.  I hope it is not objectionable to state this.

It had to be that, or two packs of Kools and a couple 40's of Olde English malt liquor...

These companies wouldn't still be in business if not for the taxes they generate.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
