DEAR BIG TOBACCO, WE ARE DYING.

But you already know that.

Smoking kills more African Americans than AIDS, drug and alcohol abuse, car crashes, and murder combined. And 70% of us who smoke use menthol cigarettes.

That’s no coincidence.

You’ve spent decades pushing menthols into Black communities with cheap prices and slick advertising.

And the worst part is, you think you can keep getting away with it.

You come after our brothers, sisters, parents, and friends.

Now, we’re coming after you.

We want you out of Black neighborhoods, because our lives are worth more than your bottom line. We are people, not proﬁt.
