Menthol Cigarettes

Menthol cigarettes have a 'cool' minty flavor and are advertised as being less harsh than other cigarettes.

About Menthol Cigarettes

Menthol cigarettes are cigarettes with a menthol additive designed to give the smoker a cool, minty feeling in their throat when smoking. They first arrived on the market in 1924 but did not become popular until around 1927. Today 83% of black smokers and 23% of white smokers choose menthol cigarettes.

In 2009 President Barack Obama signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act banning the use of flavorings in cigarettes because it was believed the flavors enticed children to begin smoking. Menthol was exempt from this act, however many groups still rally to include it.

In 2010 the FDA revealed that they found no evidence that menthol cigarettes were more addictive or harmful than other types of cigarettes. However, it is reminded that no matter the type or flavor, cigarettes in general are harmful to your health and contain cancer causing agents.
