Do menthol cigarette's smell less "smoky" than regular ones?

Question

i'm trying to keep my smoking habit from my parents

Answer 1

I smoke menthol and the answer is no

Answer 2

No. The smell is the same on you, your clothes and your breath. And it is impossible to hide it from parents. I know, I tried to do the exact same thing when I was younger, but they knew from day 1, no matter how much I tried to cover it up.

I would suggest not smoking at all, it's a very unhealthy bad habit and it is extremely hard to quit. It's something you will regret doing in the longrun.

btw, if you're doing it to fit in or look cool it won't work.

Answer 3

My sister in law used to smoke menthol cigarettes, until she gave up the habit due to asthma -- and to be honest, the menthols stink worse than the regulars.

People who smoke get the odor in their hair, on their hands, in their clothes .... nothing really keeps the odor at bay. And trust me, anybody who smokes, no matter how hard they try to disguise the odor, smell bad to non-smokers. Non-smokers have a much more keen sense of smell.

But, back to your question, the menthols actually smell worse -- in my opinion

Answer 4

NOT true ! . when I used to smoke I smoked menthol . I used to "bum" them off of black people when I was out and GUESS WHAT .... Statistically the same amount of blacks smoke regular flavor cigarettes as white people . They even smoke the same amount of weed as white people ( those that do smoke ) And have the same amount of crackheads as white people. I think a good question would be " Why aren't there more asian crackheads ? " seriously !

Answer 5

Are menthol cigarettes safer than other brands?

Menthol cigarettes are not safer than any other brand. In fact, they may even be more dangerous. About one fourth of all cigarettes sold in the United States are flavored with menthol. These cigarettes are especially popular among African Americans. The added menthol produces a cooling sensation in the throat when the smoke is inhaled. It also decreases the cough reflex and covers the dry throat feeling that smokers often have. People who smoke these cigarettes can inhale deeper and hold the smoke in longer.

A recent study showed that people who smoke menthol cigarettes are less likely to try to quit and are less likely to be successful when they do try. This study proposed that menthol smokers might want to switch to non-menthol cigarettes before trying to quit in order to improve their chances of quitting smoking.

Is there a safe way to smoke?

No. All cigarettes can damage the human body. Any amount of smoke is dangerous. Cigarettes are perhaps the only legal product whose advertised and intended use -- smoking -- is harmful to the body and causes cancer.

Although some people try to make their smoking habit safer by smoking fewer cigarettes, most smokers find that hard to do. Research has found that even smoking as few as 1 to 4 cigarettes a day can have serious health consequences, including an increased risk of heart disease and a higher risk of dying at an earlier age.

Some people think that switching from high-tar and high-nicotine cigarettes to those with low tar and nicotine makes smoking safer, but this is not true. When people switch to brands with lower tar and nicotine, they often end up smoking more cigarettes, or more of each cigarette, to get the same nicotine dose as before.

Smokers have been led to believe that "light" cigarettes have a lower health risk and are a good alternative to quitting. This is not true. A low-tar cigarette can be just as harmful as a high-tar cigarette because a person often takes deeper puffs, puffs more frequently, or smokes them to a shorter butt length. Studies have not found that the risk of lung cancer is any lower in smokers of "light" or low-tar cigarettes.

Hand-rolled cigarettes, while reported to be a cheaper and healthier way to smoke, are not safer than commercial brands. In fact, lifelong smokers of hand-rolled cigarettes have been found to have an increased risk of cancers of the larynx (voice box), esophagus (tube that connects the mouth to the stomach), mouth, and pharynx (throat) when compared with smokers of manufactured cigarettes.

"All natural" cigarettes are marketed as containing no chemicals or additives and rolled with 100% cotton filters. There is no proof they are healthier or safer than other cigarettes, nor is there good reason to think they would be. Smoke from these cigarettes, like the smoke from all cigarettes, contains numerous carcinogens and toxins that come from the tobacco itself, including tar and carbon monoxide.

Herbal cigarettes, even though they do not contain tobacco, also produce tar and carbon monoxide and are dangerous to your health. The bottom line is there's no such thing as a safe smoke.
