Commercial tobacco has evolved in some ways over the years, from regular cigarettes to menthols, chew, flavored cigars, orbs, and e-cigs, among many other products. One thing that hasn’t changed is the historic targeting and abuse of Black communities and others by the tobacco industry. It’s the Same Game, just Different Smokers. And it’s coming to Beloit.
The national exhibition, Same Game Different Smokers, is an exploration of the troubling 400+ year relationship between the tobacco industry and Black America. Curated and created by artist and activist Tracy Brown, the exhibit examines topics such as the Tobacco Industry’s role in the birth and evolution of the slave trade in America, targeted marketing through the decades, and the explosion of menthol cigarettes and now e-cigarettes.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Wisconsin Commercial Tobacco Prevention and Treatment Program, its national partner the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and the Wisconsin African American Tobacco Prevention Network. The exhibit was brought to Kenosha by KRW Tobacco-Free Coalition in partnership with the Kenosha Public Library.
