edit: are you white? because black people wouldn't be confused by my comment

Based on the evidence submitted by Brown, menthol cigarettes account for between 60–75% of the cigarettes smoked by African-Americans—and 90% percent of African-American youth smokers smoke menthols.

Why tobacco is a racial justice issue
It’s no accident that nearly 9 in 10 Black smokers use menthol cigarettes, which are easier to smoke and harder to quit. The tobacco industry strategically and aggressively targeted the community with menthol cigarettes for decades, including placing more advertising in predominantly black neighborhoods and in publications that are popular with black audiences, as well as appropriating culture in marketing, including sponsoring events such as jazz and hip-hop festivals.

African-American menthol and nonmenthol smokers: differences in smoking and cessation experiences.
Despite smoking fewer cigarettes per day, African Americans have lower cessation rates and experience disproportionately higher rates of smoking-related health consequences. Because of their high preference for menthol cigarettes, it has been suggested that smoking menthol cigarettes may contribute to the excess smoking-related morbidity experienced by African Americans

how will it lead to more criminalization? if menthols are no longer produced, they're no longer produced, they aint arresting people for having them. and no shyt, people will have vices, but the tobacco industry specifically targeted black folks with menthols which are harder to quit. nothing wrong with taking away that variable, people are still free to smoke, but why save a product that's more detrimental and specifically marketed to us?

dont worry bro, you'll learn to love the pure toxic taste of that cig you're pulling into your lungs :myman:
