Nope that is just an Urban legend! we have all heard them, (your lungs will crystallize or you lungs will bleed,) none of which have ever proven true. However it has been proven that people who smoke menthol have a much harder time quitting and are around 90% more likely to fail or start back up after successfully quiting! It is better if no one smoked at all but why not switch to a non menthol so when you are ready to quit you will have a better chance at succeeding!

Menthol Ciggarettes have fiberglass in them. This is what gives them the taste of being cooler.
Yes they are worse then a non-menthol cig. Along side turning your lungs black, they will also crystalize them.

Please do yourself a favor and quit! If you need to, get help and do it as soon as possible. I see the results of smoking in some of my patients that are in their later years and it is not a pretty sight. Some of the problems I see are shortness of breath, being tied down to an oxygen bottle, limited ability to do any physical activity, huge wrinkles on their skin, raspy voice, cancer, heart failure, kidney failure and just about any kind of body failure that you can imagine. Do a search on the internet for COPD and you will see one of the results of smoking.
Here is a question that may drive the point home. Is shooting yourself in the head w/ a 45 worse on your brain than a 9mm?
good luck

Any kind of cigarette or form of tobacco is dangerous for you. No more than the other.
