Menthol cigarettes disproportionately target youth

Chris Morris · Feb 8, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Did you know that more than half of youth ages 12-17 who smoke use menthol cigarettes? And, in major cities, there are up to 10 times more tobacco ads in Black neighborhoods than in others.

Tobacco companies spend some $186 million annually in New York to market their products.
