World Coming To An End: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit!!
This article and the people that wrote it are racists!
Is it also more difficult for African Americans to quit smoking “crack”?
it’s also more difficult for blacks not to be socialists.

Would they be OK with it if tobacco companies stopped selling to retailers in "their communities" altogether?
OBama hates black people.
President Obama signed a law early in his administration to raise taxes from 39 cents to $1.01 per pack of cigarettes and from 19.5 cents to 50 cents per pound for chewing tobacco. Source AP, Sunday, March 29, 2009
When Joe Biden was asked how he felt about it he was quoted as saying; “people have to pay more taxes under an Obama-Biden administration. “You got it, It’s time to be patriotic, time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help America out of the rut...by everyone paying more taxes”
(took a little liberty with the quote, but the principle still applies).
Stopping is 90% a matter of will power, you must stop making excuses to yourself and others and just tough it out. Like a root canal, do it and be done with it.
So if there were no black actors used in cigarette advertising, would they then complain about the lack of diversity?
Why It’s Harder for African Americans to Stop Smoking:
discipline.
Women & Minorities are always ‘hardest hit’
The blacks need not worry about this...... Obama is going to fix this, just like he’s going to fix every other problem the White man used to keep them down.
Ahem - you think he likes caucasions? (We already know he loves the illegal aliens (sorry - I forgot we're not allowed to say that any more) - poor people south of the border that are being threatened by the drug cartel - so they must come north - for safety. (Oh - and bring their families, too - WE will take care of them!)
I quit in august 2007 after four decades. Just didn’t ever have the first one each day...I still want one but it’s a lot easier now.
Good for YOU, blam! I respect your decision/choice/effort/strength. (And love the Recon Team - all five of ‘em!)
Damn racist cigarettes!
So you can’t say that African Americans prefer watermelon or fried chicken but you can say that they prefer menthol cigarettes? Either they are both racist or neither.
Just an observation.
W&MHH.
I used to be a three pack a day smoker that could breeze through 5 packs on heavy drinking nights, that was Marlboros although I smoked Winstons on the beach and in windy areas, near the end I was drifting more and more to filterless cigarettes, I quit cold turkey when the mood hit me.
I seriously doubt that many menthol smokers are getting more nicotine than my system was.
