EU to ban menthol cigarettes

I'm not a smoker but this reinforces my disgust towards the EU leadership with its hideous unelected "eurocrats" and everything it does. I'll go find a bucket.

What a rubbish article. Jumps between menthol and e-cigs but never explains to us why they are considering banning menthol, or their distinction between them and other regular flavored tobacco products.

Despite having a success rate of 90% they are been banned because dealers might sell them to children, which might encourage people to take up regular smoking. Sound a bit bizaree to me as dealers sell normal cigarettes to children and teenagers anyway.
