In the mean time they want to give out crack pipes.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Next on the chopping block, Colt 45 Malt Liquor.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like a white supremacist attack on black smokers to me. Where’s the “white guilt?”

[JennysCool]

If there’s one thing “liberals” hate more than big rigs, it’s menthol cigarettes.

[PeterPrinciple]

a ban?

payments from the tobacco co must have stopped

[moovova]

“Where’s the “white guilt?””

Up in smoke?

[Telepathic Intruder]

So to make black people more “equal”, they’re going to take away what they do too much of. How about they ban basketball too?

[SkyDancer]

Kool cigarettes are a certain favorite of a certain ethnic group.

[nascarnation]

The industry needs to hire Obama as a lobbyist....

[Lazamataz]

Nope.

Newports.

[Scarlett156]

Funniest headline I’ve seen in a while. :D

[Husker24]

Whats next, grape drink?

[SkyDancer]

Nope. Kool’s. Okay, maybe Newports as second.

[dfwgator]

I say it’s all just talk unless it’s the one they call...Coldcock!

[Lazamataz]

If this sort of thing doesn’t dislodge the black voter from the Democrat plantation, NOTHING will.

[dfwgator]

LOL, I remember when the only time black people were in commercials were for Malt Liquor ads.

You’ve come a long way baby!

[Lazamataz]

Nope. Kool’s. Okay, maybe Newports as second.

Having spent significant time as an active addict, back in the day, I can tell you from personal observation: Newports.

In fact, I don't recall seeing one person smoking Kools.

[bwest]

So “black” is capitalized but “white” is not.

[jimbug]

I grew up in a fog of second-hand smoke from my
Parents and sister. They are all in the ground from to a correlated diseases. I have asthma as a result of their addictions. I hate the stench of tobacco.
