No good data: Arsenic is a side effect of the type of soil the tobacco is grown in. This is not regulated.  Menthol is an additive to improve the taste and encourage the use of the product.

Question 10

will menthol topical gel if used on back harm baby?

Accepted Answer

Seems risky - ask dr: Better safe than sorry - since it is not known whether methyl salicylate gel will harm an unborn baby,  tell your doctor if you are pregnant while using this medication. Also, it is not known whether methyl salicylate gel passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not apply methyl salicylate gel to your breast area if you are breast-feeding a baby.
