For too long Big Tobacco has been strategically killing the Black community with menthol cigarettes. It’s time to make things right.
You already know they hang more ads in our neighborhoods, and offer more discounts in our stores. But here’s what you may not know – Big Tobacco is co-opting Black community voices to keep these deadly products on the market by exploiting issues that truly matter to our community, all so they can protect their bottom line. Scroll for more.
Big Tobacco knowingly sentences us to lifetimes of sickness, disease, and early death.* They don’t see our beauty, our individuality, or our rich history – only how rich we can make them.
Menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars have been and are the main vectors of death and disease in the African American community. There is nothing better to do now to show that Black lives matter than to get menthol cigarettes out of our community.
