kinda how i feel about opioids, let them do them. i don't know anyone it affects.

This is absolutely fukking insane.

75% of menthol cigarettes purchased by Black ppl

54.5% of all cig sales are menthol

This means Black folks, who are only 14% of the US population represent, buy almost 41% of the cigarettes in the country.

Figures I've seen are around $80 BILLION a year is spent on cigarettes annually in the US.

Cigarette sales went up for the first time in 20 years during the pandemic - CNN

That's a stimulus check to ever black man, woman, and child every year.

Stress/Fear/Worry = Billions for elites

I don't smoke but the stresses on long Covid, decreased family connectivity, and all of the regular stresses led me to picking up a pack.

I smoked one and hated how my mouth felt even after brushing and haven't had another one.

Now my son's transmission failed as soon as the warranty expired and that's gonna cost 7k. Might as well get a new/used car, which means a car note.

I need melodies from heaven to rain down on me.

Whenever anti-vaxers people ask "WHY DONT THE GOVERNMENT PROMOTE IMMUNITY AND HEALTHY EATING!?!?? " Its because adults DGAF. Its one of the only useful things I remember being somewhat taught in school damn near every grade. Yet amerikkka one of the fattest countries in the world.

Imagine spending all that money on ciggs to NOT get high or buzzed, and on top of that fukk ya gums, lungs, and heart up

People are against banning cigarettes? What value do they bring?

Banning drugs doesn't work.
