A member asked:
Are non menthol cigarettes more likely to cause throat/esophagal cancer? does the menthol cause less irritation to your throat? or no difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All cigs are bad!: smoking is smoking- it is bad for you and people around you. There is potential for FDA to pull menthol off market- since they may be more addictive due to taste. All smoking causes multiple cancers, copd, emphysema, poor healing and so on. Seek help to stop .
