Ron DeSantis outraged by proposed ban on menthol cigarettes

TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticizes the Biden administration's potential ban on menthol cigarettes, arguing that it would create a black market. DeSantis previously vetoed a bill that would have raised the age to buy tobacco to 21, citing concerns about empowering a hazardous black market. He also defends the use of vapes for smoking cessation purposes. DeSantis and other Florida politicians, including Senator Marco Rubio, warn that banning menthol cigarettes could lead to the black market filling the void. However, DeSantis' support for menthol cigarettes contradicts his stance on cannabis, which he believes should be banned due to its "stench."
