Fuck the children.

Congress is considering legislation to give the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate tobacco. And while the bill would ban fruit and candy flavorings, it would allow the continued sale of menthol-flavored brands. That has led to sharp criticism from some smoking control advocates, who argue that menthol lures some people to try cigarettes and helps keep others from trying to quit. The advocates are pressing for an amendment to ban menthol.

But Phelps said that would be a mistake. "We don't believe it's right to ban a particular ingredient because some people prefer the flavor that ingredient provides," he argued.

So, they want to ban all fruit flavorings and menthol? What about adult smokers who enjoy that? It's not just kids buying this shit, you fucking retards. Stop enacting this nanny-state bullshit because of "the children." Let me get one thing clear: I hate "the children." Not only do I hate "the children" but I, very specifically, hate your children as well. Kids die. It's a fact of life. And, you know what? No, not all life is precious and not all kids are little miracles or gifts from some god. They're little organic, squishy, meat-sacks with an inflated sense of self-importance.

So, if children are attracted to and use something that they are not allowed to have, then why are tame, flavor-heavy liquors not being banned, such as Malibu Rum? What about cheap beer? What about lollipops which probably induce oral fixation that can later lead to smoking? Better yet, why not just fucking ban everything.

Once more, fuck you and your shitty children.
