The issue now is reframing the education to include vape as well as explaining the reasons why it's best to wait until you're a bit older to smoke pot.
It's actually interesting because this is being framed as banning menthol to save the African American population, but I was just reading the ban will also ban flavored cigars which was a loophole to the ban on flavored cigarettes a decade ago (it didn't include cigars). That makes me think that the actual intent probably is a little more child-centric even if there are collateral positive outcomes for the African American community.
