it's common knowledge that it's down to racist advertising strategies

Presumably because he didn't talk to any black people about this.

Everyone knows that if you ban menthols all that's going to happen is black people are going to start going to the back alleys to get their cigs

I dunno why biden supports it I don't necessarily think he has racist motivations but I am highly suspect of what motivates the 7/11 clerk to support this..... I wonder what his reason could be :confused: ;)

The Batlord 05-02-2021 01:30 PM

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Fox News doesn't have the correct take on this by calling it condescending liberal paternalism.

jwb 05-02-2021 01:40 PM

Is the reasoning that menthols are actually significantly worse for you than normal cigs or is it just cause they're the cigarette of choice for most black smokers?

The Batlord 05-02-2021 01:53 PM

I've heard they're worse but I don't remember all the reasons other than just the fiber glass.
