I think that most smokers don’t even like menthols. When I used to smoke, and someone would ask to bum a cigarette from me, I’d always say “sure, but they’re menthols” and the majority of the time they would decline.
I mean I liked my Newports when I smoked. I was never a big time smoker but my grandpa was a two pack a day Kools smoker back in the day. We liked them. My dad and one of my brothers where big time wintergreen dippers as well
These days I mostly smoke a cigar a few times a year with some buddies while grilling.
I am always reminded of the TMNT movie, kid goes to join the foot clan and the recruiter(?) offers him a carton of cigarettes and asks “regular, or menthol”, winks, and then tosses the menthol at a random person.

From what I understand (and someone please do correct me if I’m wrong), they’re quite popular in the black community amongst people who smoke.
Yup. The article states that it’s in part due to black focused ad campaigns that ran for decades.
