I used to see these ads all over urban areas growing up. Especially in Oakland

They knew what they were doing

Sex sells. Use our product get the woman/ man

These ads were always on the back cover of Jet magazine. They were in Ebony too.

You're making parts of this story up, perhaps all of it.

Breh nothing about what he posted sounded outlandish at all lol

 

[Noriega]

Smoking is a choice, just like alcohol use.

So can you really blame the tobacco companies?

 

[97Pac]

The first one is always free

Actually it does. He took a story about cigarette marketing in urban areas. Embellished it, and created the fake uncle character.

I know that what he wrote was bullshyt, and so does he.

I wonder if the fact that the Newport logo is a upside down check/swoosh is a coincidence with the popularity of Nike and the swoosh logo with black Americans

What specific part sounded fake?

You know black people work in marketing and for and at actual tobacco companies especially in Richmond VA where companies like Richard Morris ate located right?

 

[Originalman]

Yup. They're basically doing the same thing in foreign countries now



Literal evil.

They're doing the same shyt with kids and vaping too.

I remember that little homey. I wonder if he still smoking them squares...

 

[Asicz]

I try not judge but I don't like when people smoke ciggs in front of children with the second hand smoke.

Also hate it when people smoke in front of store entrances especially employees because of second hand.

I can give you the name of the company that pioneered national cigarette marketing to Black consumers.

Dude wrote a fake story that sounded like what people (some)wanted to hear.

Here's a book about tobacco ad sales to blacks. My uncle is mentioned on page 194. I don't know why you felt you had to call me a liar, breh.
