Extend the ban of menthol cigarettes in light of COVID-19
Rejected

What the petition asks
I want the ban of menthol cigarettes to be revoked until further notice due to COVID 19 as i deem it to be unfair that this has still gone ahead in light of the circumstances.
I think that smoking normal cigarettes has more of a negative affect on people than menthol and if anything they should be banned not menthol so I want the government and Parliament to understand the unfair withdrawal of menthol cigarettes.
