Jury is Out: Many say menthol is less safe. Smokers of menthol take more carcinogens & have more smoking-related illnesses. Menthol, with its cooling sensation causes the user to inhale more tobacco smoke with each drag and hold it longer in their mouth as well . Studies show menthol smokers have higher incidence stroke. Menthol cigarettes may be more addictive than regular cigarettes.
