John,

The FDA is preparing to move forward with its bold plan to eliminate menthol cigarettes – products the tobacco industry has used to target and addict Black communities and kids for far too long. To highlight the importance of this plan, we sponsored a Washington Post LIVE event last week. It's now available online:

Guests:

• Keith Wailoo, PhD – Professor of History and Public Affairs, Princeton University; Author of Pushing Cool: Big Tobacco, Racial Marketing, and the Untold Story of the Menthol Cigarette
   
• Georges C. Benjamin, MD – Executive Director, American Public Health Association

Moderator:

• Paige Winfield Cunningham – Deputy Newsletter Editor, The Washington Post

It's a lively and timely discussion of one of the most significant public health issues we now face. I guarantee you'll learn a lot and feel empowered to take action.

Best,
