On the one hand, fuck cigarettes. Period. I'm a recovering smoker, and yeah, that.

On the other hand, why just menthol? This is a war on jazz. Jazz and penguins.

We must fight back.

Same here in the UK, they won't be available for sale after 2020.

My grandmother was a very enthusuastic smoker of the the old menthol fags.

What's the jazz connection btw?

I smoked two packs of menthol a day before I quit. Belair. Absolute fucking lung busters. Though they made quitting easy because the reason I quit was that I’d wake up in the morning and have a difficult time drawing in a breath.

I have a framed copy of this poster that a listener gave to me (it belonged to her late husband) hanging on the wall in the station’s jazz office:
