First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study looks at whether daily menthol smokers can still taste or smell menthol in cigarettes that claim to have removed it. Researchers will compare cigarettes sold in New York (where menthol is still allowed) and California (where menthol was banned in 2022). The goal is to understand if tobacco companies are truly removing the flavor or just changing the label. About 30 adult smokers will take part in taste and smell tests.
