FDA to ban menthol cigarettes

While this is primarily aimed at cigs and e-cigs, the fact that the FDA can do this is a slippery slope. Salem and Kool have been around since I can remember and it's hard to grasp how they could be history in short order.

I'm not a cig or e-cig guy btw, but collateral damage seems likely in the near future.

Canadian regs started exactly with menthol cigs, around 2013 or 2014; then moved on, as of Aug 16, to ban all flavored tobaccos (including pipe tobacco) in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick.
So, it does not bode well for your side of the border.
