Misplaced Moral Enthusiasm

I would have thought that stopping the influx of Fentanyl would have priority over banning menthol cigarettes.

Here is a curious argument:

If it sounds a bit nanny state-ish to ban an otherwise legal product used by consenting adults, consider this: In 2009, Congress gave the FDA authority to ban all other flavors in cigarettes, which it did in order to make these dangerous products less attractive to new smokers. But Congress stalled on menthols and asked for more study.

So the more the feds ban, the less nanny state-ish any particular ban becomes?
