These policies are almost always celebrated on the basis of the goal of the policy but not the reality of the enforcement. What happens when someone gets busted with a menthol cigarette? Or, worse yet, selling a "loosie" menthol on the street, much like Eric Garner did? Is it possible that maybe there's a connection between over regulating people's choices and over policing peoples' lives?
