Outlawing Clove Cigarettes but NOT Menthol or Flavored Alcohol?! WTF?! (USA or so I thought)

First they came for the cloves; but I did not speak b/c I did not smoke cloves. . .

Why is it that all flavored cigarettes can be illegal for sales in the US, but one can still purchase flavored malts, liquors and menthol cigarettes?!

This law is crazy. The studies do not show the categories of flavors studied that were smoked by minors. HELLO! It's the minors and the retailers breaking the rules by allowing the sale. Why punish clove cigarette smokers? Most minors can't afford cloves. They were probably purchasing the menthols in that study...the ones that are mint FLAVORED but NOT outlawed!

UNFAIR! Does not make any sense!
