Tucker Carlson: FDA banning menthol cigarettes is a “war against happiness”
Tucker Carlson on Thursday hypothesized that the Food and Drug Administration’s proposed ban on menthol cigarettes is a “war against happiness,” and that those in the government agency have it out for the “working man” who just wants to enjoy himself.
Speaking to Richard Marianos, a former assistant director of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Carlson asked, “Do you have any idea why they are hassling Black smokers—or any smokers? Smokers have already been hassled, I would say. Why are they doing this?” The FDA’s proposal would primarily affect Black smokers, nearly 85 percent of whom use menthol-flavored products , according to data included in. That announcement also cites research finding that the ban would “lead an additional 923,000 smokers to quit, including 230,000 African Americans in the first 13 to 17 months after a ban goes into effect.
After Marianos claimed a ban is “not going to work in any way,” Carlson suggested a motive for it: harming Americans’ well-being. “Maybe it’s just a war against happiness. No one wants to say it, but people smoke because it makes them happy,” the Fox host said. “Like, you shouldn’t smoke, it’s bad for you, whatever. Again, it’s hardly the worst thing people are doing right now. Maybe they just can’t stand the idea that some working-class guy is enjoying himself.”
