It doesn't sit well with Kenneth Durden, a libertarian-conservative blogger: "First they banned clove cigarettes, now the FDA is looking at banning menthol cigarettes. The nanny state is tightening its grip, but hey it's for our own good, right? Why not go for full prohibition? Sure cigarettes are bad for you, but so are Twinkies. How long before they start banning junk food? Why not ban beer? Shouldn't these decisions be left up to each individual?"
More commentary from Mr. Durden: "These steps at control will only get worse as millions more Americans start depending on the government for health care. When are the masses of people going to understand that government has and [sic] insatiable appetite for control over our lives? It seems like the only area the government feels people should have control over their own bodies is when it comes to abortion."
