How harmful are menthol cigarettes?

Almost everyone knows that smoking increases the risk of lung cancer. But you will be surprised to know that menthol cigarettes are more harmful to the body than regular cigarettes.

According to a study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, menthol cigarettes are more harmful than regular cigarettes.

In this regard, the researchers said, a type of special chemical is used in the filter of menthol cigarettes. When it passes through the smoke from the mouth to the throat and then to the lungs, it feels cold. This is the cause of the problem.

According to research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, interest in menthol cigarettes is high among young people.

More than half (about 54 percent) of smokers under the age of 30 around the world are addicted to menthol cigarettes, the study found.

According to experts, menthol flavored cigarettes are also the reason for not being able to quit smoking. The menthol contained in it gives a cooling sensation in the mouth, throat and lungs. As a result, the tendency to hold the smoke in for a long time increases.

And if the smoke is held for a long time, the body takes more nicotine. As a result, it doubles the risk of cancer, heart disease and blood pressure. The longer a person takes a puff, the more addicted they become to cigarettes. Later it becomes difficult without it.
