Are menthol cigarettes worse than normal cigarettes?

Answer 1

It's not that menthol cigarettes are more dangerous, it's just that for some reason they appear to be harder to give up than regular cigarettes. because of the "cool" that comes from smoking menthols, menthol smokers may inhale deeper, thus increasing negative side affects more quickly and rapidly than non-mentholated cigarettes.

Answer 2

No. There has been no evidence to suggest that menthol cigarettes are worse than nonmentholated cigarettes. however! there is more glass in certain variations of certain menthol cigarettes such as camel crush™ in which you break it and it sends glass into the cigarette to make the taste more apparent.

Answer 3

Depends on the brand of menthol but overall mentholated cigarettes tend to be less dangerous then non-mentholated, however not by much and are said to be more addictive because of the reduced harshness to the throat.

Answer 4

Menthol have menthol in them, to make the smoke feel cool and minty. The temperature of the smoke is actually slightly higher, but it affects the cold-sensing nerves in the mouth and throat. Some studies have suggested that nicotine absorption is greater than for non-menthol cigarettes.

Answer 5

I understand that menthol cigarettes are worse than normal cigarettes because the menthol has a crystallizing effect on the cilia in the esophagus and lungs. Cilia are tiny hairs that line the esophagus and lungs and move fluid away from the lungs. Thus the recovery time for a person who smokes menthol versus normal cigarettes is greater if the individual stops smoking cigarettes.

Answer 6

In short; No. They are worse. Also, never light anything on fire an breathe in the toxic clouds emanating from the combustion. While many people do this, it is one of the most profoundly idiotic things that any organism in the known universe can do.

Another opinionYes. They have more chemicals in them that are not natural to the body.

Answer 8
