Ban on clove cigarettes
76 Letters and Emails Sent So Far
I only smoke clove cigarettes. Sure, they're 5.46 a pack, more than any other cigarette. I'm staring at the last three packs in my entire state knowing I have to quit soon. I can't smoke regular cigarettes, they make me hack and cough. But hey, shouldn't be smoking anyway, right? Hopefully, they won't get banned all across the country, because then, I'll have to move to England. Not effective, but my opinion has been made.

im very dissapointed with the ruling to ban clove cigarettes. think about it, they sell K12 in any convience store. mariguana is legal in some states. they even sell flavord cigars! what sense does it make to ban clove cigarettes? I am way past the age of 21 and I cannot enjoy my favorite cigarettes. Please bring back my clove cigarettes . thank you
As a former young smoker I can say that the idea clove cigarettes are designed to or in any way promote, encourage, or serve as a gateway for kids to start smoking is completely false. The problem is with the enforcemnet of the laws that are suppose to protect children from cigarettes of all kind. A nation wide ban on clove cigarettes for allegedly promoting children to smoke by covering up the intense sensation caused by smoking makes no more sense than banning all Toyotas because the seats in the car can be raised high enough for kids to see over the steering wheel and still operate the pedals. The ban on clove cigarettes is nothing mor than a blatant attempt by domestic tobacco manufacturers to eliminate foreign competition, and I must say I am highly upset that congress has allowed itself to be so easily and completely swayed by special interest groups. As a person who grew up in a disadvantaged area of the country I can personally attest that clove cigarettes is more than the absolue least problem facing our country's youth today it isnt even on the radar.
Repeal this ban. It's unconstitutional. Not unlike Prohibition. I started smoking Cloves for the flavor but never "transitioned" to normal cigarettes, they taste gross. If this ban was intended to disuade kids from smoking I contend they will start with the cheapest thing they can get their hands on. Cloves and other "flavored" cigarettes are not it.
Congress please stop telling me, a full grown adult, what I can and can not smoke because some study tried to paint it as saving our youth. Guess what... kids are still smoking. Kids are still drinking. Kids are still doing drugs. Please let me smoke what I want with the freedom our great Country was founded upon.

The land of the free and Congress is steadily taking things away. ANd yeah kids will always smoke because it's something they are not allowed to do smoke, and the best things in life are things in life are things we can not have. That is why kids smoke. And most kids smoke whatever their parents are smoking.
Please bring back our freedon=m of choice on clove cigarettes.
Children will always smoke as long as there are cigarettes. Allow adult American's to decide for themselves what they should and shouldn't smoke. There are plenty of laws on the books banning underage smoking, enforce those instead of penalizing everyone.
The notion that clove cigarettes are intended to entice young non-smokers into the habit, frankly, isn't supported by the facts. Compared with menthols, smoked by about 43% of young smokers, clove cigarettes (*excuse me* "cigars") account for less than 1% cigarettes sold, including by young smokers. This ban is nothing more than phillip morris's way of keeping competing products off the market
I respectfully ask that the ban on flavored cigarettes, or at least clove cigarettes, be repealed.
