Gee, this isn't too patronizing essentially saying, "You poor uneducated black Americans. It's a good thing we're here now to save you from your bad habit of smoking menthol cigarettes because you obviously don't know any better. We know it's not your fault. Oh, and that goes for you LGBTQ folks, too. It is such a good thing we're in control now before all of you do any more damage to yourselves. You poor dears."

Are they going to also ban boards of education from giving out mentholated grape flavored pencils to minorities as well? (Drawn Together reference)

Ban stereotypically “black” cigarettes.. Yeah, that’s not racist at all... Next they’ll be banning malt liquor and cheap “cognac”.

So I guess watermelon and fried chicken will be next on the chopping block? The concept that ‘black’ or LBGT communities are smokers of menthol is as racist as it gets.

Ban menthol cigarettes and legalize weed, another example of asinine political correctness.

True story: I went to pick up my college kid last year in his on campus dorm. Before I entered the dorm I passed a few kids smoking cigarettes outside in the cold. There was a sign on the dorm entrance that said “no smoking cigarettes inside the dorm.” I then entered the dorm and the thick smell of weed was everywhere.

” citing both the decades of data that show that the cooling flavor in cigarettes makes it easier to start smoking combined with the current cultural momentum toward improving the lives of Black Americans.”

This is, of course, blatant racial stereotyping!

Trump was giving blacks the opportunity for prosperity.

The Democrats now have to beat them back into gratitude for empty words.

Remembering my step-brother smoking Kool non-filters. They had the filter colored paper but no filter material was enclosed. When Kool quite making non-filters he would bite the filters off and smoke them old-school.

He always said the Gov’t ought to ban filters, since they litter the landscape. He used to field dress his non-filters.

Died in a tornado of all things. Vietnam messed with his head, but he put a lot of sketches on paper and a few oils on canvas. Good guy, his father died in Europe during WWII.

Delmonte Jefferson?

I can’t even tell if this is satire or not...

Besides Kools, there’s also Newport and Salem that are to my memory, exclusively Menthol.
