I do not know ONE person of color who smokes regular cigarettes.

I agree that it's mostly people of the color white who smoke regular cigarettes.

Kentucky Fried Chicken is next. Then Taco bell. LOL.

This really isn’t about slavery or racism (although it does help secure their voting block).

They are going after the Confederate generals, then the slave owning Founding Fathers, then their documents.

I really think this this about destroying the Constitution, the document the ruling elites truly hate.

It keeps them from absolute control of the people they think are too stupid to know what is good from them. (Read WikiLeaks about what Shillary thought of us.)The fake Indian probably(yeah,probably. LOL.) supports this thinking.

She is Shrill 2.0.

Whatever happened to “It’s my body. I’ll do what I please with it?” These meddlers are in every part of our lives.

How is menthol supposed to make a difference?

Guess Colt 45 and mary jane can’t be too far behind.

Don’t half step, Lieawatha, ban watermelons and fried chicken too.

[Songcraft]

They (the tobacco industry) even stoop so low as to invoke the name of this civil rights icon, in order to appeal more strongly to blah-blah-blah...

Not Purple Drank!

But but but. What about skittles and purple drank?

The fake injun needs to put this in her peace pipe and smoke it.

When Obambi banned flavored tobaccos, he deliberately exempted menthol. Racist Barack Hussein Obama.

[a fool in paradise]

When the fascist mayor of NYC banned 40+ oz soft drinks, he exempted malt liquor 40s. Racist mayor of New York.

Michelle Obama, self-appointed Food Czar-Nazi, said that you have have some fried chicken AFTER you go vote Democrat. It’d be okay to cheat a little on diet AFTER to pledge loyalty to The Party.

Where I come from, it’s Philly Blunts. You crack them longwise, dump out half the tobacco, then pour in weed...

“The tobacco industry has a long history of targeting menthol cigarettes to African-Americans and in particular African-American youth through strategic marketing and promotional materials,”

As a smoker, I haven't seen one advertisement promoting cigarettes in over 10 years....The Nico-nazis got rid of them long ago.......

[libertylover]

the senators argued that African-Americans have the highest mortality rate of all ethnic groups due to smoking related diseases, and Menthol cigarettes pose a greater risk.

So, just ban blacks from smoking. You know, in the name of freedom. You'd be doing it for their own good.

>>>What about Malt Liquor?<<<

The only Brand that is Racist is TRUMP 45.

Remember the doublethink from George Orwell’s 1984:

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

The rewriting and erasure of history is part and parcel of the totalitarian state.

[RetiredTexasVet]

And she didn’t call for a ban of alcohol to Indians, semi-Indians and just fake Indians as racist?

[Scarpetta]

I could be jonesing hard for a smoke, but if I was offered a menthol I would try not to visibly blanch in disgust while saying “no thanks.”
