And probably most disturbing of all, menthol cigarets are cheaper in the African-American community. But it's not just African-Americans. Let's be clear. Women disproportionately smoke menthol cigarets. The folks in the LGBTQ community disproportionately smoke these products. Native Hawaiians, Puerto Ricans, folks with behavioral health issues, Filipinos, the marginalized people in society are using these products. There are numerous cities all over the country that are taking this up that we're working with. We want Denver to step in line with this. I know we've all been hearing about the FDA is going to do this about menthol and that about menthol. And that's been 12 years in the coming and nothing has been done. Even if they've begun the rulemaking process process in April, it will take them years to do something. Put Denver's health above that of the profits of the tobacco industry. As was said before, we should be getting rid of all flavors, all products at all locations. No, we don't want to end the sale of all tobacco. We just want to end the sale of flavored tobacco, whether it's sheesha, whether it's e-cigarettes, or whether it's menthol cigarets. With that, I want to thank you for your time and your effort. We will be sending you a letter about this, and I wish you all the best this evening. Thank you very much. Thank you. Our next speaker is David Hagan. And I mean. Good evening, counsel. Thank you for allowing. Me to speak tonight. I'm going to start out. Maddie was talking about prepared comments. I was just curious if she was prepared, that last statement she said. But I also wanted to thank her for talking about the white power comment, because that was made clear to you all that that was stated by them, by us. Over the last two weeks, DHS has not made a single change. If anything, they've gotten worse than they were before. It's almost like they're they're mocking us for getting they got the contract and they're not going to have any. There's nothing going to happen because they got it. Whoever is pulling the strings, they made sure they got that contract is. Is going to keep going straight. We're going to continue doing what they do, which is treating unhoused folks like garbage. And let's see here. So real quick on the flavored nicotine stuff, I just want to state that I quit smoking years ago using e-cigarettes and I rarely even use e-cigarettes anymore and I use the flavored tobacco. So please don't nicotine. Please don't get rid of those. It was a lifesaver for me and Cigarets are disgusting and I'm glad I was able to quit and onto Chief Payson and his minions, I guess. You know, last summer, a few of you, most of you, I think, said to defund the police when the protests were going on. I doubt when did. But I'm pretty sure everybody else might have mentioned those words. I just listened to a comment of Hines telling Stacey that he wanted to is right there with her to defund the police. And then in the budget meeting the other day, he's got nothing that he's upset about and they're getting a shit ton
