FDA outlines menthol use risks risks in menthol cigarettes
The FDA review finds menthol cigarettes may pose a greater public health risk than regular cigarettes but stops short of recommending a ban. It notes menthol may raise youth initiation and hinder quitting while easing smoke harshness, and it cites growth in menthol use from 33.9 percent in 2008 to 37.5 percent in 2011 with stronger gains among younger smokers. The agency seeks input while commissioning further research.
