Noo no no no... The ones that really get ya, with that strong cooling sensation and sometimes does not taste so great, that would be the menthol in them... those without, like just simple fruit flavored ones that aren't so strong, they don't have it.

NO. Menthol is just a chemical. Some cough drops use other chemicals. But, it has been shown that menthol is sort of a topical anesthetic that desensitizes the mucous membranes in the throat and takes away the cough reflex.

Try luden's or Hall's fruit breezers if you don't like the menthol.
