Sounds about right. My state passed some fairly extensive gun reform laws, and someone tried to tell me that smaller magazine sizes would impact black people most “because the wealthy white people will buy all the large clips”
That dipshit was so close to getting it, yet so far.
Menthol cigarette advertising was/is targeted heavily to black people. It’s possible that banning menthol will give people the nudge they need to quit, so it could end up helping black people more than average.
I still haven’t figured out how the FDA decided that flavored nicotine in vapes was, in any way, a valid marketing concept. I get allowing it for cessation and limiting it to unflavored, but to intentionally put it in a product as a feature? (yes, I’m aware companies put caffeine in products, and I do drink those products - as an addictive substance, I’m okay with prohibiting it).
At least someone can argue that caffeine serves a purpose. If you want to stay wired, there ya go, and it isn’t nearly as addictive as nicotine. You’re right about flavored vapes, though. That’s some bullshit.
The other day, there was a thread about an effort to ban flavored tobacco, including Menthol.
Some dipshit said this would harm black people the most, because black people just love lung cancer.
