Public health advocates want President Joe Biden to ban Menthol cigarettes as the studies have shown Menthol cigarettes cause a greater impact on health.

According to studies, Menthol cigarettes are easily addictive and hard to quit.

Menthon cigarettes are widely consumed in the black community due to their aggressive marketing in the community for decades.

Black public health activists are garnering support to get new laws passed at the state and local levels.

Politicians are also weighing in and expressing their concerns with menthol cigarettes.

Despite there are lesser black smokers compared to white, more black smokers die of heart attacks, strokes, and other diseases tied to tobacco use than white smokers.

“These results build on growing evidence suggesting that menthol is not a neutral flavoring in cigarettes,” Jonathan Foulds, director of the university’s Tobacco Dependence Program said in a release, “It masks the harshness of the nicotine and toxins, affects the way the cigarette is smoked and makes it more deadly and addictive.”

Popular brands like Newport, Kool, Camel, and Marlboro have been consistently and aggressively marketing Menthol Cigarettes in the Black communities for decades.

Truth, an anti-tobacco site, has used aggressive commercials and ad campaigns to expose how menthol cigarettes have been pushed toward the Black community for years.
