The ban of flavored and clove-infused cigarettes in 2009 changed the tobacco industry in the United States incredibly. I'm aware that the ban is to "protect the youth", as they will not find the scent of menthol or basic tobacco appealing; however, it's not fair to legal adults.

Let's put it this way. If we are going to ban flavored cigarettes because they "appeal to the youth", should we not ban fruit-flavored alcoholic drinks due to their appeal to children aswell? Or what about the flavored vape juices that fill the air with the aroma of cotton candy?

I, aswell as millions of other smoking Americans, would like the FDA to lift the ban on flavored cigarettes, as it is unfair and does not absolve the problem.
