Anne Lawton, community outreach nurse at St. Peter’s Hospital Cancer Care Center, was interviewed by WTEN/News10 for their story on “No Menthol Sunday.” “No Menthol Sunday,” which takes place on May 16, is a campaign that brings awareness to the harm menthol cigarettes do, particularly to the African American community. From the story: The vast majority, up to 90% of Black smokers, smoke menthol cigarettes. Tobacco companies have targeted young people and Black neighborhoods in marketing campaigns. A tactic that has been used for 70 years, according to the CDC. “So our Black communities were disproportionately burdened by these marketing campaigns,” Lawton said.
