So it is mostly black smokers in prison. We need to severely criminalize this discriminatory process. The truth is, cigarettes are not legal, triply not legal, in Michigan.

The warning label admits it. Tennessee in 1897 saw the danger, and banned cigarettes . Michigan saw this, and passed its cigarette ban soon thereafter, in 1909. Many people still alive then remembered that Confederates the source of tobacco had fought for the right to torture and kill. So in 1909, there was prudent suspicion that they wanted revenge, and would manipulate and flavor the product so as to torture and poison Northerners.
