(Reference [link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] The company hasn't built active websites on the domains, but paid for the names "in hopes of a dispassionate debate regarding menthol, rather than outrageous claims these domain names would promote," says Mr. Perry, the Lorillard spokesman.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], The domain registrations are disturbing to William S. Robinson, executive director of the National African American Tobacco Prevention Network in Durham, N.C. It "makes me mad that they would declare war in a quiet way on those who are trying to protect the public health," he says.

The company also created Twitter and Facebook pages to discuss the issue. On the sites, Lorillard frequently links to articles that include quotes or are written by groups that oppose a menthol ban and present reasoning similar to its own.
On Oct. 28, for example, Lorillard linked on Twitter to an Oct. 19 editorial from Afro.com, an African-American news website. The piece appeared under the byline of Jessie Lee, executive director of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]s A similar article ran in the Washington Times on Oct. 20. In the piece, Mr. Lee expressed concern that a menthol ban would result in a large illegal market for the cigarettes. Such activity "could burden our law enforcement systems," he wrote, expressing a view shared by Lorillard and other groups opposed to a ban.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Although it wasn't disclosed, Mr. Lee's editorial was pitched to news organizations by Charlotte Roy, an African-American public-relations consultant who was a founding member of the National Association of Black Journalists. She is under contract to a public-relations firm paid by Lorillard, which says it has hired several communications specialists to work on the menthol issue.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Ms. Roy says one of her roles is to make African-American organizations aware of a potential menthol ban and to encourage them to express their views in the media to make them "much more widely known."
When contacting media outlets, Ms. Roy says she doesn't mention her association with Lorillard [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
According to a Lorillard spokesman, Ms. Roy also arranged for Niger Innis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], national spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality, a civil-rights organization, to appear on radio programs in Chicago and elsewhere to discuss the menthol issue.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Mr. Innis says he's against a ban because it could result in an underground market, "creating another vehicle of criminality in the African-American community." And, "you are taking away a legal preference and choice for African-Americans."(Reference [link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
