I wouldn't hesitate to use lead-based paint if the stinking EU hadn't banned it years ago; stuck like s*1t to a blanket that stuff did.

[Andy Burns]

guess what? they didn't. lead carbonate paint is restricted to e.g. listed buildings, but lead tetroxide paint is not restricted.

[Roger Hayter]

The phased elimination of lead paint predates the EEC.

[Cursitor Doom]

That's as maybe. But for sure the bastards have just recently banned menthol cigarettes of all things!

[Fredxx]

So we should be healthier for it.

There are other ways of 'smoking' menthol either vaping or by heating tobacco. Both so much safer than menthol cigarettes which studies have also shown are more dangerous than plain cigarettes.

There's nothing stopping you adding your own menthol to your cigarettes too.

Remember you're replying to Doom. Who just makes things up to suit his agenda.

You can still buy leaded paint for specialist applications. But it makes sense not to have it available generally.
