So we like them all then

Pretty much.

I took to avoiding mint a long time ago because it removed the pleasant choking sensation I used to get when I had a ciggie, and it made hot tea burn my gob more, and when I inhaled cold air on a cold day, it felt even colder. Doesn't matter about the smoking issue any more because I quit, but it probably applies to vaping and I might go back to that if I get fed up with gum and can find a decent vaping gizmo that I can trust not to kill me.

TLDR: Mint preference depends on personal habits. May be more suitable for non-smoking, non-vaping types who avoid cold air and hot tea. But who would avoid hot tea?

I used to hate menthol cigarettes me

I think I've only ever had one once and it was the worst experience of my days as a smoker

I think they banned menthol fags in some countries. To me it was like smoking air, total waste of time. If I remember right, the menthol stops the nicotine from getting broken down and peed out, and that's why they banned them. I think they should have banned them because they don't work.

I'm not a fan of hot drinks. Iced tea is best tea.

They banned them here I think and the menthol tips that my daughter used to use

I hated Silk Cut me
I could never understand the point of smoking a cigarette with perforations in the filter

I used to have to wrap a rizla round the tip so I could smoke them

I know it's a bloody shame for poor hard done by me

I should try that
My daughter likes it

It's really nice outside but every time I try to go outside the world keeps finding a reason for me to stay in

Just checked downunder legislation and menthol ciggies were banned here...last month !
Also rum and clove flavoured cigarettes.
Not that they can regulate what goes into a rollie.

Rum and clove

That isn't the reason why the were banned in the UK.

The official government explanation at the time was that menthol cigarettes were more appealing to young and new smokers and that the government wanted to reduce the amount of smokers because of the costs associated with healthcare, treating smokers for smoking related illnesses.

I wonder if I can get a goal, an assist and in a fight all in the same game.

^ if it's hockey you're talking, it's very likely

My hot tea goes cold when I'm too busy to drink it, so I have to keep getting up to microwave it. Sometimes it's too much bother and I drink it cold, and I know from that experience that I'll never get used to cold tea. Especially without milk. I gather cold tea fans don't put milk in as a rule. And they add lemon juice which would hurt my throat and do even more harm to my teeth than the ice-cold tea would (according to many sources) do. So in my case it doesn't make much sense to switch to cold, but it's your funeral (see what I did there? ) if you want to pooh-pooh my philosophy and do it your way.

It makes sense. Kids are attracted to rubbish as if they were kids or something. And if they banned things because they don't work, there'd probably be a mega recession. And it's clear that they don't, otherwise I wouldn't have a roll of so-called slug tape in the cupboard. It's great for making Xmas decorations and blinging things up in general, but it doesn't stop Leicester slugs.

Actually I suspect that the economy would eventually come back better than our wildest dreams if people just made useful things instead of selling crap. Imagine how much wasted time they'd save. But in the meantime there's be a lot of misery.
