Negros and menthol cigarettes

[WingsOfGold]

The centers for disease control looked into this. They are an independent entity paid for by the taxpayers.

So is Dementia Joe........ along with our enemies as well. He and the crackhead owe allegiance to those that pay more.

Must be a generational thing, because that wouldn’t have stopped my group. We grew up with aunts, uncles and parents all smoking lucky strikes, Pall mall Reds and Chesterfields.

Yup, unfiltered.

Tobacco companies routinely targeted BIPOC communities with aggressive advertising

So you're saying that black people are so stupid they do what the TV tells them even if it kills them?

That is pretty racist there, Cletus.

They can’t get ID’s to prove they are of age to buy smokes.

Thank God, they can’t get on the Internet and get bombarded by Internet ads.

Yes the advertising with the Marlboro man cowboy got all POC hooked on cigarettes.

Well, he did have browned skin.

I love when people get all upset because a companies targeted a specific group with aggressive advertising! Hello, that is the purpose of advertising. Do you ever see tampon commercials on NASCAR events? Or tool commercials on the Lifetime channel?

Sure blacks were targeted by menthol cigarette advertising. Research showed that black smokers were highly likely to be menthol smokers. White smokers were split. Targeting blacks was targeting the higher percentage of the smoking population on that product. Virginia Slims advertising was aimed specifically at women. Men were NOT Virginia Slims smokers.

When I watch Paw Patrol on the Nick channel with my 2 year old granddaughter, guess what commercials I see? A heavy dose of toy commercials. Because the kids will see the commercial and want the parents to buy the toys. Targeting kids with toy commercials. Who knew?

It's called advertising!

Again, IDC I am happy however they are such shiit shots. 90 shot in Chicago, 2 died. Enhances innocent peoples lives......... now that Goetz guy, he shoulda used a FoTy.

No secrets, coloreds love menthol. Shame on me, started out with Belair I think circa 1970 ish. Back then coloreds loved Kool, I guess it was kool. I never understood why they opened them from bottom of the pack, that too must have been kool. Stupid chucks never picked up on that but the trash whites like their pants down past their knees, smart ones realize it's easier to run from the poleeeeice maybe, IDK.
Doesn't affect me, don't know, don't care.

The open them from the bottom so if you bum one your fingers dont touch the filters of the other ones

Way back when I started smoking, HS, it was Marlboro Red. I switched to Camels for a short then back to the Reds. If I bummed a smoke from a woman it was usually Salems or some other menthol.

Quit for 20 years, had a stressful period in my 50s where I started up again, smoking was the better stress releiving option, and flipped between marlboro Reds and Smooths (Menthol) and back again. They were a little less harsh than I remember Kools or Salems being, but not pleasant in any way.

Never smoked a Newport but always heard they were really strong.

You switch to Camels because of the grease man....LOL

Yes..Yes they do what the TV tells them to do and its only racist when you disagree

 

[GURPS]

Back when I used to smoke - I smoked mostly menthols. I think I'd been smoking them for years before someone told me it was a black thing.

Newport 100's in a box please

Refresh my memory… don’t black people in the cities get their cigarettes out of the back of a truck in an alley? Then sell them individually on the street?

That's why the police attempted to arrest Eric Garner.

CEVA is politically biased.

They don’t have a political agenda. Their agenda is keeping people safe and healthy.
