Study: Lung Cancer Risk Among Smokers of Menthol Cigarettes
Mar 25, 2011
Conclusion: These data indicate that rates of lung cancer are no higher among menthol vs nonmenthol smokers, and raise the possibility they may in fact be lower, and that smoking cessation rates appear not to differ greatly between menthol and nonmenthol cigarette smokers. These findings should inform any decision-making process by the Food and Drug Administration to single out menthol cigarettes as uniquely more harmful than nonmenthol cigarettes.
