Banning Flavored Tobacco Products Be RAYCISS n Sheeet

- A ban on flavored e-cigarettes and tobacco products passed the House on Friday but divided Democrats, with some saying it unfairly targets African Americans.
- It is intended to curb the rise of youth vaping rates by banning non-tobacco flavors such as mint and mango that public health experts say lure children into smoking.
- It would also ban menthol cigarettes, which are disproportionately used by African Americans
- Some members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) voted against the bill, worrying it could give police a way to target African Americans.
- Members of the CBC noted Friday that tobacco companies have targeted African Americans for years in their “predatory” marketing of menthol products, putting them at risk for smoking-related disease and death.
- Law enforcement would have an additional reason to stop and frisk menthol tobacco users because menthol would be considered illegal under this ban.
**** - Smoking cigarettes, especially menthol flavored cigarettes, has resulted in approximately 45,000 African American deaths each and every year

I say, "Hooray for tobacco companies!!!". As an American who believes in freedoms and rejects a restrictive nanny state, I am opposed to this bill. Just restrict the use of these products to adults and leave it at that. In fact, just write the bill to restrict the products for use by humans and let niggers of all ages have special unrestricted access to them. We could even help the poor niggers out by subsidizing it just for them. Niggers would have a freedom under the law that humans don't have. Wouldn't that be nice? Oh, wait. That would be RAYCISS!!

No good deed goes unpunished. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
