RE: Ottawa moves to ban menthol cigarettes (April 30) I was appalled and convinced that our federal officials are already on marijuana or possibly something stronger after reading this article. The government says steering young people away from that first cigarette is one of the most effective means of reducing lifetime smokers. Maybe providing pot is the answer. It's proven addictive and, most important, it will be revenue-generating - not to mention more life-ruining events on our highways to compound our problem with drinking and driving.
