This article and the people that wrote it are racists!

Is it also more difficult for African Americans to quit smoking “crack”?

Recently, Black leaders in California called on the tobacco industry to stop targeting their community with the promotion of menthol cigarettes and deceptive advertising.

Would they be OK with it if tobacco companies stopped selling to retailers in "their communities" altogether?

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?

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.

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.

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.

NIDA News Release
Quitting Smoking Harder for Women than for Men
Review of Research Finds Variety of Reasons for Why It Is Harder for Women to Break Free of Nicotine Addiction

A review of numerous research studies focusing on smoking cessation has concluded that while women may suffer greater relative risks of smoking-related diseases than do men, they tend to have less success than men in quitting smoking. Dr. Kenneth A. Perkins from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine who conducted the review offers several reasons for this disparity in a paper published in the May 2001 issue of CNS Drugs.

According to researchers, menthol cigarettes are harder to quit, particularly among African American and Latino smokers.
