Menthol Cigarette Smoking Makes It Harder to Quit Smoking
[ Posted in: Quit Smoking, Big Tobacco on January 14th, 2009 ]
Research released in the American Journal of Public Health found evidence that the tobacco industry has manipulated menthol levels and created new cigarette brands with the intention of luring young adults and adolescents into cigarette smoking.
The article, Tobacco Industry Control of Menthol Cigarettes and Targeting of Adolescents and Young Adults, compiled data and tobacco industry documents that reveal the tobacco industry’s intention to vary strengths of menthol flavors in cigarettes, appealing to young people.
The research was conducted by the Division of Public Health Practice at the Harvard School of Public Health and funded in part by the American Legacy Foundation.
