Menthol, the drug that has hooked more African Americans to a deadly addiction than crack cocaine, is being given a free pass by anti-tobacco legislators.
Legislators are focusing on cinnamon flavored cigarettes that threaten the health of many young white women and clove smokes the smoke of choice by potheads.
Twenty billion dollars a year are spent mostly by Black Americans on the minty cool flavor of menthol disguised carcinogen tobacco. Seventy percent of Black smokers choose menthol flavored cigarettes.
The banned flavors that attract young suburban white kids include strawberry shortcake, mocha frappuchino and many other Starbucks inspired flavorings.
Hard-Boiled political consultant, Hi Bin-Roundablok found the present situation similar to the seventy's crack vs. cocaine controversy. White powder was hurting white kids. Crack rocks were rockin' the world of the ghetto but no body cared. So now, they go after the mouth candy the tobacco cancer pushers are using to tantalize the white suburbanites. Menthol can ravage the hood because Black Death ain't nothin' to the white man!"
