On April 28, the Food and Drug Administration proposed a ban on menthol cigarettes, which are smoked by more than 18.5 million people ages 12 and older. More than 85% of menthol smokers are African American. By comparison, 30% of menthol smokers are white. Menthol cigarettes are also more popular in the Latin and Asian communities. From that date in April, the public, including the tobacco industry, has 60 days to make comments.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 480,000 Americans die from tobacco-related disease, every year. This is including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure.
For its part, the tobacco industry said a ban could push the sale of menthol cigarettes underground and cut more than a third of all cigarettes sold in the U.S. It would also eliminate about $20 billion in sales and many jobs.

Looks like Whites are going to become a minority much quicker than projected.
“ More than 85% of menthol smokers are African American. By comparison, 30% of menthol smokers are white”
Libtard math 🤪

So about half of what they abort?
More than 85% of menthol smokers are African American. By comparison, 30% of menthol smokers are white.
There will be contraband menthol ciggies smuggled from countries that do not ban them (same familiar US brands), and the customers will certainly not just be blacks. But guess which neighborhoods will have drive by shootings about the menthol trade? Because the existing gangs will be the street level dealers.
My dad was a lily white. He smoked menthol cigarettes from 1944-1987 till he died at “threescore and ten”, exactly.
Menthol be white supremacists tool.
Throw away your Cools, bros.
What about menthol handguns???
Smart thinking! Taking away their cigarettes and booze will calm people RIGHT down!

All of you realize we are in for one helluva firestorm of a Summer, Right?
Plan accordingly, FRiends!
What about Asians and Latinos?
Math is hard, says Barbie.
Probably add another 35% to make 100%.
2 + 2 = 5
I’m still trying to break my addiction to candy cigarettes from the 60’s, Yo!
What they’re saying is that blacks are too stupid to stop smoking mentholated cigarettes on their own. Racists!!
Hey, hey, hey. Get your facts straight. According to the Magic Negro, there are 57 states, and the Marine Corps is pronounced “Marine Corpse”.

More than 85% of menthol smokers are African American. By comparison, 30% of menthol smokers are white.The new mind-boggling math ...
Secondhand smoke exposure is a joke.
The only people severely effected are those with asthma or who are allergic.
41,000 deaths from that. I don't think so.
Deaths from smoking have been exaggerated for decades.
Huh? 85% and 30% = 115%. Journalism...another easy path to a mediocre degree.
