Looks like Whites are going to become a minority much quicker than projected.

Is this true in all 54 states?
To: Apparatchik
Do they suppose blacks who smoke menthols will just give up smoking?
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.

Probably add another 35% to make 100%.
2 + 2 = 5

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”.

This is including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. 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.
To: Apparatchik
Huh? 85% and 30% = 115%. Journalism...another easy path to a mediocre degree.
