Two out of five adults who use cigarettes smoke menthol

Because menthol produces a cooling effect that lessens the harshness of smoke, tobacco makers have been adding it to cigarettes for decades. It makes smoking more accessible, increasing the likelihood that young people who don't smoke may start smoking regularly and develop a nicotine addiction. An FDA ban on menthol would have a widespread public health impact as menthol use is much more common among adult smokers who are younger, from racial/ethnic minoritized groups, and with mental health problems.

To estimate trends in menthol use among adults who smoke cigarettes by sociodemographic, mental health, and substance use variables, the researchers analyzed nationally representative annual, data from 128,327 individuals ages 18 and older residing in the U.S. from the 2008-2019 and 2020 from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). Depression was assessed using the DSM-IV criteria for a major depressive episode.
