Tobacco-Free CommunitiesBlack children in communities across the U.S. have been targeted by the tobacco industry for over 60 years. Menthol cigarettes and other predatory products like flavored cigars are marketed to these communities, hooking generation upon generation to a deadly product. Today, tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable death among Black Americans.
We have made it our mission to support tobacco-free communities and invite you to learn more about the campaign. |
