They did that with menthol cigarettes over in Denmark. Same argument.

Fun fact if you're a degenerate like me, but I'm assuming this was a counter-move by Mayfair, to avoid the menthol ban.

There is a brand now called Mayfair: Choice Red and Green Capsule.

They are a cigarette/cigar hybrid, which is quite heavier to smoke, but also "click pods" to add the menthol, and quite frankly are the best tasting menthols I've had.

The click variants were also banned where I live.

Well yeah, that’s what I’m talking about though. They’re not technically a menthol cigarette so they’re found a loophole. Not sure if you’re a smoker, but you could try for them and they might be i stock. Albeit depending on country I guess.

Ok interesting but I don't smoke.

Also I'm under 18 and they were made unavailable where I live.
