South Bay leaders push for federal action on menthol cigarette ban, say it's an 'equity issue'

Every day that we continue to have deprotonate targeting of menthol products is a day we lose lives and our Black lives matter.

The percentage of smokers from the Black community is twice as high as other populations.

Some studies show under a menthol ban, overall smoking would be projected to decline by 35.7% in 2026.

It could save 654,000 lives over the next 40 years.
