I think the idea is that they are more at risk as a demographic because they are being targeted for advertising.

I've never noticed, and I live almost exclusively among black teens.

So they are at risk because they can't think for themselves and need a truth campaign commercial to think for them?

No one is forcing black people to smoke.

No one is forcing anybody to smoke, but people choose to smoke anyways. That's why there's campaigns like this to prevent it.

Complaining about being "profiling"? What. Yes. This is literally how marketing campaigns work. You don't market to demographics that won't suit your needs, which is the same reason people don't understand why toy companies don't market girl toys to boys.
This is business as usual. You are "profiled" because you are a loving demographic, and in a black neighborhood you are not going to advertise to white people.

Quote from: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/

Nearly 22 of every 100 non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaska Natives (21.9%)
More than 20 of every 100 non-Hispanic multiple race individuals (20.2%)
Nearly 17 of every 100 non-Hispanic Blacks (16.7%)
More than 16 of every 100 non-Hispanic Whites (16.6%)
More than 10 of every 100 Hispanics (10.1%)
7 of every 100 non-Hispanic Asians* (7.0%)

That being said, you'll perhaps never see ads in the US dedicated towards Asians.
