What is so special about menthol? All other flavored cigarettes were banned and yet they are exempt?

I will admit to being slightly bitter about the loss of vanilla smokes but I understand the principal behind the ban. What I fail to understand is why they still allow menthol (mint) flavor when all the rest are gone.

Menthol certainly fits the criteria of making the taste more appealing and thus would attract minors. So why was it spared?

And yes- I posted this in social so no restrictions on answers. Say what ever you wish about it.
