Like, you are pretty much banning black people from smoking cigarettes, but that's also good right?
They ban people from smoking crack, heroin, pills, cocaine, weed for a century, and they even tried alcohol for a time.

I dont think it has so much to do with being black as much as its easier to start smoking with menthols because they dont burn so much. Kinda taste like candy, too.

In 2009, Congress enacted the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which gave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory power over tobacco products and banned all flavored cigarettes—with one significant compromise: menthols could remain on the market. Even as overall cigarette use has fallen over time, menthol cigarettes remain enduringly popular, representing 35 percent of total industry sales.

That figure, 35%.. whew. We're talking about tens of billions of dollars every year.

You're all getting groomed to pay taxes for Trumps space force [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And maybe to be in the space force [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] if u r like 10 years old.

You'll probably have to get along with asexual and hermaphroditic aliens and some parasites too probably.

You regularly reply to your own posts multiple times and post lengthy rants about how the number 14 means that your rape daddy is finally about to be reinstated.

Thats one way to look at it. But if you take all the smokers who have been smoking for 30+ years and come out with a law that says 85% of the black ones don't get to do it anymore it seems a little racist.
