Dude was murdered by the NYPD.

[usurper]

You can't make this stuff up.

It will be fun, instead of stop and frisk the cops will stop and sniff. What could go wrong.

[Graybeard58]

Smoking is nasty, filthy and disgusting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which has absolutely nothing to do with this article.

[Graybeard58]

My dad smoked Kools - for most of his cigarette-smoking career, which ran
from age 13 to age 75.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I started at 13 also, quit after 50 years at age 63. I’m 78 now and breathing just fine. Doc appointment just yesterday, oxygen level 99.

Menthol ciggies were a staple in the black areas

[xp38]

Would menthol weed work?

[ChildOfThe60s]

When I was in high school in the late 60s, every black person that I knew who smoked, smoked Kools. They also tore one corner off the bottom of the pack to get them out. Never opened the top of the pack.

I smoked for 21 years - and quit at age 42.
I'm breathing fine also. Now I am.
But one late May morning I started coughing, and coughing - I couldn't stop coughing.

So I figured that I had to make a decision to either stop smoking - or stop breathing.
I made the smarter decision, obviously.

I will; and I roll my own just to escape the worst of the taxes.

[GaltAdonis]

PS: I'm 59 now.

And my oxygen level was 99 yesterday also.
Seems like it's almost always 99.
Except when I do a heavy workout - then it might drop 1 or 2 percentage points.

Yeah, racism, right. Imbecile.

"Is there anything on this Rock that black folks don't see as racist?"

Yes. Their own racism.
