GOP plans to use White House menthol ban to chip away at Harris’s swing-state support

Republicans are planning to tie Vice President Kamala Harris to the Biden administration’s support for a proposed menthol cigarette ban in an effort to win over black voters in key battleground states ahead of the November election.

As Harris enjoys a boost in national polling, Republicans are plotting ways to whittle down support among certain voting groups by targeting unpopular policies proposed by the Biden administration. Chief among those is a proposed ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, a decision that has been repeatedly delayed by the Food and Drug Administration amid political pushback.

Although Harris has managed to reinvigorate the Democratic base since replacing President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, polling shared with the Washington Examiner suggests black voters may be less likely to support her candidacy if she advanced any sort of restrictions on menthol cigarettes.

Trump/Vance capturing the Black vote is going to be difficult.  (Did I mention he should have picked Donalds?)

Seriously! The price of everything is through the roof, the jobs situation is in freefall, we have the war in the Ukraine, and this is what will win votes for the GOP.

Every gain is a gain. The Dems push smoking other stuff.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
