Due to heavy tobacco industry targeting – particularly with menthol cigarettes – Black Americans suffer disproportionate health burdens related to tobacco use. Smoking-related illnesses are the number one cause of death in the Black community. And lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Black men. Smoking is also a major cause of heart disease and stroke, the only conditions that kill more people in the Black community than lung cancer.
In this installment of our Campaign for the Culture conversation series, we’ll have an open, intersectional discussion about the unique mental and physical health concerns of Black men – and the role that tobacco plays.
For the first time, we’ll be offering the opportunity to watch the panel discussion in-person, with pre- and post-event receptions. Please indicate on the registration form whether you'll attend in-person or watch online.
