Did you hear about 'No Menthol Sunday' that happened on on May 17th? The more awareness that is spread about to***co products, the healthier our communities will be!

MENTHOL FACTS:
📌Menthol’s minty flavor makes it easier to start smoking and
harder to quit.
▪️Most Black people who smoke use menthols (85%).
▪️Most kids who start smoking try menthols first.
▪️Smoking is still the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.
📌In December 2023, the White House delayed finalizing the removal of
menthol from to***co products. However,
▪️Removing menthol from ci******es would help reduce addiction and youth experimentation.
▪️Removing menthol will help smokers quit and improve quit attempts.
▪️Delaying the removal of menthol in ci******es upholds systemic racism, period.
▪️The to***co industry and its paid spokespersons have stated that removing menthol
ci******es would make Black communities targets of increased over-policing; this is a lie.
▪️The FDA’s menthol ban would prohibit people from manufacturing, distributing, and selling menthols, NOT possessing them.

An informational and free webinar to stay on top of emerging ni****ne products!

Are you trying to make sense of all the ni****ne products showing up everywhere right now? You’re not alone. Join us Thursday, May 21 at 6:00 pm ET for Hooked in New Ways: What Parents Need to Know About Youth Ni****ne Use.

Register today here (or using the link in our bio): https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_gPokPwMjSqaz9D8hE2aEew

From vapes to ni****ne pouches, the way these products are packaged, marketed, and talked about is shifting fast. What’s often framed as “clean,” convenient, or even a performance boost is reaching young people in new ways, especially through flavors, design, and influencer-driven messaging. We’re breaking it down in a way that’s clear, practical, and actually helpful for parents. What to look for, what’s changed, and how to talk with your kids.
