Menthol - More Than a Flavoring in Mentholated Cigarettes
Seems like there's lots of confusion about mentholated cigarettes.. Abstract Diagram: Smoking mentholated cigarettes may mask the impact of early warning signs of respiratory distress. We all know that cigarette sales in the United States have been declining over the last two decades but menthol cigarettes are gaining in popularity. The latest figures from Lorillard indicate that 28.4% of all cigarettes sold in the U.S. are menthols. That's about 30% of the $70 billion U.S. tobacco market. African Americans account for approximately 11% of the 45.1 million adults who were current smokers in the U.S. Of these, about 75% smoke menthol cigarettes. Menthol is the main ingredient in peppermint and is responsible for its odor and taste. Menthol's ability to chemically trigger the cold-sensitive receptors in the skin is responsible for the well known cooling sensation that it provokes when inhaled, eaten, or applied to the skin. Besides being a flavoring, menthol has a number of pharmacologic actions mainly as a result of the "cool sensation" that results at certain levels of concentrations. Menthol has been widely used in pharmaceuticals, oral care, tobacco, confectionary and perfumed products because of its pleasant taste and its association with freshness and cleanliness. The proper amount of menthol per puff on a cigarette can result in the stimulation of cold receptors resulting in the smoker experiencing a "cool sensation." This property has been exploited by the tobacco industry touting menthol cigarettes as "refreshing," "cool" and possessing an aura of "springtime." The cool sensation is apparent at lower concentrations of menthol and the feeling of warmth at higher concentrations. So when the menthol-tobacco balance favors tobacco the smoker can experience this "cool sensation." Just ask a menthol cigarette smoker.
