DON'T GET WEEK...
You have a sort of persistent feeling for the smoke, and I promise you it is a nice feeling inside just thinking about smoking again...
This is how it sounds, and this is what you like to feel....
But the fact tells me that you will REGRET IT....
It is a mixed feeling of
wanting & not wanting....
Eagerness & hesitation
Will against will...
I have gone through this before, and I said to myself NO WAAAYY
WHEN YOU FEEL SMOKING IS CONTROLLING YOUR THOUGHTS....All you need to do it to is to give yourself ONE MORE WEEK for a Fresh New Start...
When this week gets over with....Give yourself another week for the New Start until you reach to the point that you no longer wish to allow smoking controls you....and no more of another week needed any longer...
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BEAT IT EVENTUALLY and for good this time...
Don't tell me about Menthol or otherwise....It is basically the same...Harm will always be there...
There is no GOOD CIGARETTES & BAD ONES....
Once a smoke...always a smoke....and you are the only looser...
You have been brave enough quitting the past period, and it is really sad that you come back to it...
DON'T YOU GET IT....You have beaten it big time...and you need not to get weakened now...
Don't look at the negative effect of problems currently going on with your life; taking it for an excuse to start smoking again...
THIS WAY SHOWS YOU LIKE A SLAVE TO THE SMOKE...
I don't think you liked that expression....so might as well resist it to the best of your capabilities...
You want to come back to it from the inside....and you feel excited a little, and will feel extremely happy when you come back to it, but this is momentary feeling which will no sooner become REGRET.....and nothing worse than REGRET...
You will blame yourself WHY you followed your desire for a smoke, thus taking revenge of yourself smoking double than you usually do...and this is the worst which will make you addicted to it again once you fulfill the desire for a new start ...
So for that reason, you DO NOT NEED TO COME BACK TO IT; neither with a Methanol taste nor any other taste...
Believe me you will quit Methanol in a short period and come back to your regular for the same old enjoyment of smoking your brand...
It is a pitty that you go back to smoking after quitting for so long...
Be brave, and be strong...and after all..... :
IF THERE IS A WILL...THERE IS A WAY....
Last but not the least....
IT IS MORE OF A BAD HABIT THAN ADDICTION....
Just realize how you beated it all that time, so you are not haunted by addiction any longer...so the only thing left is THE BAD HABIT OF IT....
Take your decision now & forever, and just get the damn thing OUT OF YOUR LIFE ONCE & FOR ALL,,,,
YOU DO NOT NEED IT.................

i just recently quit smoking also, u need to stick with it! Menthol cigarettes are just as bad, and in some cases worse then others. Some of them have fiberglass which can cut up your lungs, no matter how long you've been smoking them for. (fiberglass is also found in clove cigarettes) Try something else for your stress. Plus don't you like not smelling like smoke all the time, and you can also smell and taste things better also then if you were smoking.

Menthol cigarettes are NORMAL nicotine cigarettes with a mint taste in them. They're just as bad for you and they give less of a buzz so they suck :p
I think menthol cigarettes were originally created for people who wanted to quit smoking because the taste is different.
Anyway don't start smoking again! Just have a drink from time to time its better for your health and makes you feel better.

So .. you don't need to be told that smoking is bad for you (blah blah blah) but you're worried about whether the cigarettes you smoke are worse than what you refer to as the ''normal ones''. No they're not, actually .. Menthol cigarettes will take a bit longer to kill you but if you started smoking at 14 I wouldn't bother to plan for a pension when you retire .. because you won't live long enough to enjoy it.

Yes menthol fags are just as bad for you as normal ones. I'm trying to persuade my friend the same thing but she won't listen so I hope you take note. People often smoke more on menthol's cos you can't taste the nicotine as much. I just think they're disgusting... though I can't really talk that much cos I smoke too!

All cigarettes are bad for you. When you smoke menthol cigarettes you're adding yet another foreign substance to the tobacco. Since you've already managed to quit, why would you throw that away and start smoking again?

yes, they are still cigarettes, and so they are still bad for you! Try just closing your eyes for a full minute and taking some deep breaths with your diaphragm. It will relieve stress and be healthier than sucking on a cigarette. My grandma had lung cancer two years ago from smoking cigarettes almost her whole life. Even though she's in remission now, she's still having all kinds of problems from having part of her lung removed. After 10 years of not smoking, your lungs will return to the same state of a nonsmoker's. Good luck, and keep it up! Nicotine is very addicting, and if you keep trying, you'll beat it!

They were designed in the 50's to get more women smoking ie those who didn't like the taste. They are actually worse as they open up the lungs and allo more nicotine into the system, making them more addicitive.
If you haven't smoked since last July then for God's sake find another way to deal with this current stress in your life - I have treid so many times to quit and still haven't managed it.

sorry, but experts say menthol cigarettes are still bad for your health. If you really want to save your poor body, try Mentholated chest rub.

They're no better for you than non menthol cigarettes, just taste different n don't smell quite as bad.
