This doesn't make sense on any level. The stated reason is nonsense but I can't think of a real reason that makes sense. Maybe it's just practicing power for powers sake.
Remember one of their dem pillars is to socialize medicine. When the state is paying for healthcare, preventative policy (your freedom of choice be damned) just starts to make financial sense. It's one in a million steps to banning all smoking, alcohol, fatty or sweet foods, etc. It'll keep the lifestyle issues treatment costs way down so they can pocket more of it.
Several years ago they changed something in the regulation surrounding how they were made or what could be in them. Djarum Blacks were my go to smoke. After that legislation went through none of the packs I could get my hands on tasted the same. The last good pack I smoked was after I graduated in 2009 and took a trip to New York with my friends to celebrate.
It's a damn shame. I miss smoking cloves on a nice summer night.

Well, going after smokers in the first place was the first experiment in that.

I cannot wait until the Biden administration bans Sprite.
Smokers are a net cost savings for the health care system though because they die young and they die quickly.
It’s a virtue signal with no real opposition. Or... it’s conditioning to set up a slippery slope of behavior criminalization
I oppose it. I'm still salty them ruining clove cigarettes.
are cloves banned? I don't recall seeing many around, but most were not even tobacco-based.

It makes "sense" if you're a woke retard.
