Health professionals are teaming with members of the faith community around the nation to combat the use of menthol cigarettes, especially in the Black community.
As a result of the numbers, the Center for Black Health is sponsoring its annual “No Menthol Sunday,” this Sunday, May 15th. The aim of the observance is to prevent tobacco-related death and disease, and address health disparities, particularly in the Black community.
Delmonte Jefferson is Executive Director of the Center for Black Health and Equity.
