Description

The Menthol Cigarettes pamphlet explains the dangers of menthol cigarettes, why they are more addictive, and what they do to the body as opposed to regular cigarettes. In cigarettes, menthol creates a cooling sensation in the throat and airways. This makes the smoke feel less harsh and easier to inhale. Tobacco companies add menthol to tobacco products to make them seem less harsh and more appealing to young people and people who have never smoked before. In 2019 and in 2020, sales of menthol flavored cigarettes made up 37% of all cigarette sales in the United States.

Menthol enhances the effects of nicotine on the brain and can make tobacco products even more addictive. Menthol in cigarettes can make it more difficult to quit smoking. Readers will learn how they can move forward and quit smoking menthol cigarettes. The pamphlet identifies the physical and mental components of nicotine addiction and are encouraged to stick with quitting.
