This webinar will discuss that historically, and continuing today, menthol products have been predatorily marketed to marginalized groups and most conspicuously to African Americans.

* The results of predatory marketing has led to 85% of adults and 94% of teen African American smokers to smoke menthol cigarettes
* Black folks die disproportionately from tobacco-related diseases compared to other race and ethnic groups
* Menthol isn't deadly itself, but it allows the poison to go down easier!
* The fight to restrict the sale of these products is picking up steam with San Francisco adopting a city-wide ban on selling menthol and all flavored tobacco products.
* It is important for all tobacco control and health advocates to take up this issue and lend a voice against the social injustice being done.
