Scientists test 'Flavorless' menthol replacements in cigarettes

NCT ID NCT06230159

Summary

This study aimed to understand how new synthetic cooling agents in cigarettes affect smoking. With menthol cigarettes facing a ban, tobacco companies are adding these flavorless chemicals to mimic menthol's cooling sensation. Researchers tested these new cigarettes on 34 young adult smokers to see if they are as appealing and potentially addictive as menthol cigarettes, and to check for any immediate effects on the lungs.
