Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Mentholation has little effect on other smoke constituents, and no apparent effect on nicotine absorption, airway patency and smoking initiation, dependency or cessation."2.44Possible effects on smokers of cigarette mentholation: a review of the evidence relating to key research questions. ( Coggins, CR; Lee, PN; Werley, MS, 2007)
" Also, it is unlikely that the dissimilarities are due to racial differences in preference for mentholated cigarettes, because chronic administration of menthol to NNK-treated rats did not result in either increases in urinary total NNAL or decreases in NNAL-Gluc:NNAL ratios."1.30Differences in the urinary metabolites of the tobacco-specific lung carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone in black and white smokers. ( Akerkar, SA; Carmella, SG; Hecht, SS; Muscat, JE; Richie, JP; Scott, DG, 1997)
"The incidence of lung cancer is much higher (60%) in black men than in white men, but it differs little by race in women."1.29Mentholated cigarette use and lung cancer. ( Friedman, GD; Sadler, MC; Sidney, S; Tashkin, DP; Tekawa, IS, 1995)
