menthol cigarette

Cool-flavored tobacco stick

A menthol cigarette is a cigarette flavored with menthol, a compound derived from mint that produces a cooling sensation in the throat and airways.

The menthol masks the harshness of tobacco smoke, making inhalation feel smoother: She switched to menthol cigarettes because regular ones were too harsh.

Menthol cigarettes have faced increasing regulatory scrutiny due to concerns they make smoking more appealing to new users.
