Mailers targeting voters in South Carolina hit Biden on a proposed menthol cigarette ban. The group behind it plans to deploy the issue in swing states next.
Not if they only affect a tiny number of voters. Which is why I’ve been asking how many voters this will affect, which apparently is a really unfair question for some reason.
Doesn’t it make a difference whether this has an effect on 3 people or 300,000 people?
I read it. As I said, it makes no mention of the number of black people in South Carolina who smoke. Is it a significant number? The article doesn’t say that either.
So, again, why is this newsworthy? You won’t answer that question, which makes me think you realize it isn’t.
Nearly 85% of Black smokers smoke menthol cigarettes.
I didn’t deny that.
Again: How many black people in South Carolina smoke cigarettes? Do you actually know? That second article also does not say how many.
If it is a tiny number of people, this does not matter. Feel free to give me an article that actually says there are a huge number of black smokers in South Carolina.
Fwiw, the rough numbers say about 600k smokers in the state, and a little more than 25% of the state population is black. If all things were equal, it would be about 150,000 black smokers in South Carolina
How many black people in South Carolina even smoke?
Is this, yet again, an article that you happen to agree with rather than one that is newsworthy?

It’s effed up they are doing it
There’s a lot of non-newsworthy things people do in this world that are fucked up. Why is this not one of them?
Read the article. Get educated

I think you just like to pretend you know things when you don’t.

They mentioned they would do it, now they’re actually doing it.

Stop being obtuse. Did you not read the part that said if this works they’re also going to do it in swing states?
Here’s the info you could have googled…

So it hasn’t worked? Then I guess it’s not newsworthy.
It is not my job to back up what you think is newsworthy, it is yours.
That also does not say how many black people smoke in South Carolina, so I have no idea why you pasted it. Did you even read it?

THANK YOU.
That is all I have been asking for.
