are menthol cigarettes better for you than normal ones?

[stephielamb]

my friend said they are now i wanna know for sure. please don't be mad if this is to random or shit. :stoned: :o

[Euphoric]

Some research suggests that those who smoke menthol cigarettes take in a higher concentration of carcinogens and experience more smoking-related illnesses than do people who smoke regular cigarettes. This may be because when smoking menthol cigarettes, the pleasant, cooling sensation causes the user to inhale more tobacco smoke with each drag. This extra intake of carcinogenic substances by menthol smokers may be the cause of higher incidences of smoking-related sicknesses. As a result, menthol cigarette smokers may become more quickly addicted and also may smoke more cigarettes than those who smoke non-mentholated cigarettes. The cycle repeats, with smokers continuing to smoke more cigarettes to feed the addiction. Thus, smokers of menthol cigarettes have a higher rate of smoking-related ailments than smokers of regular cigarettes.

[beachguy in thongs]

When you exhale, if it comes out in a straight line, that means you've inhaled properly.

[stephielamb]

[Syrus]

why would you want to smoke a polo?

[xNoa]

menthols do not cause any more direct harm then normal ciggerates.
do not start smoking them, if youre a pikey like u seem then you obviously wont listen, but there is no point getting addicted to fags, i mean u dont even know how to inhale?
get some weed and dont smoke fags on their own, there is NO POINT!!

[stephielamb]

[kronikdaze420]

[spliffstar22]

i've heard menthols are worse for you, than regular cigarettes. THe only time i've ever smoke menthol in my life are newport, when i came back from NY, I bought a carton back, cause they were like 20 bucks USD for the carton. My brand(Dumaurier) was like 75 bucks canadian, fuck that.lol

[stephielamb]

is that a lot of money? i brought 2, 20 packs last night £5.00 each.

[beachguy in thongs]

Menthol brands of cigarettes are not safer and can be more dangerous. People who smoke menthol brands can inhale more deeply and take longer puffs than smokers of non-menthol brands.
http://www.womenshealthzone.net/substance%2Dabuse/smoking/light%2Dcigarettes/

I saw something that said that it doesn't have fiberglass in it and then I found this.


Menthol Cigarettes
If you guessed that menthol cigarettes were worse for you then regular kind of cigarettes, you are right. Now imagine grabbing a stool, climbing up and taking some insulation from your ceiling. Roll it up and smoke it. Sounds crazy hu? Well, then why do people want to destroy their lungs with menthol cigarettes?
http://quit-smoking-naturally.com/menthol_cigarettes/

Abstract: Menthol is the only cigarette additive that is actively promoted by the industry. Initially marketed aggressively to African Americans, the 1999 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse confirms significant use of mentholated cigarettes not only among African Americans, but also among White and Hispanic youth and by women. Indeed, Newport, the top U.S. menthol brand, is now second only to Marlboro in market share. Because of the association of menthol with medications, many consumers believe that menthol cigarettes are safer. Far from being innocuous, menthol in tobacco has been shown to increase carbon monoxide and cotinine levles, expand the bronchial passages to increase particulate permeation into the lungs and may result in increased retention of smoke constituents in the lungs, all contributing to increased body burden of toxins. The current state-of-the-science regarding the social cachet, epidemiology, marketing and toxicology of menthol cigarettes in the United States will be presented. The information presented in this panel is a prerequisite for tobacco control activists not only to promote better understanding of menthol, but as a model for understanding other tobacco additives.

[stephielamb]

hmm i see

[dopesmoker]

so dont smoke menthol cigs everyone....hell people shouldnt be smoking anyway

[beachguy in thongs]

Forget this post, I read it, again.

edit: Ah, I'm not sure, though, I didn't research it. Try looking through the last site for the validity of it's claims.

[xNoa]

Ah, I'm not sure, though, I didn't research it. Try looking through the last site for the validity of it's claims.
indeed, ive read plenty of things which say the menthol isnt directly damaging(only if you breath in deeper etc then a normal ciggerate, but thats up to you aint it) theres FAR worse things in fags then some smokeable mint

[beachguy in thongs]

But this statement says that the menthol isn't helping anything:

[flamingskullballs]

i prefer to smoke the kind of smoke that looks smokey

[CanaBliss]

Actually, menthols are said to "ice" your lungs over time or in other essences, cut them up like that one person said. Menthol smokers do smoke more ciggs more often then regular cigarette smokers do becuz of the addicting cold flow on ur lungs. Isn't that bad tho? Open a fresh pack of menthols and take a big wiff on the butts while they are in the package. SICK! Cough medicine smelling....

Well time to light up a menthol :dance:

[chris230792]

They may be better for you but you still are inhaling lots of shit into your lungs.

[stephielamb]

PENIS! sorry i'm horny again i need sex.

[jbuckets]

I've heard that menthol cigarettes cut up your lungs. You can smoke 'em.

i heard that about newports

some bs that they have fiberglass in them

i dont think its tru tho ...

[nakedgunner]

i smoke methols i want to change. i dont want to smoke reds are camels worthy? i do like them. im not planning to smoke long but i like it. i can quit wenever i want

[Chaos]

no!.......menthol have fiberglass in it that cuts at ur lungs

[beachguy in thongs]

If you still believe menthol "ices" up your lungs, take a look at that last site, in detail.

Menthol has more carbon monoxide, more cotinine, they open up your lungs so more harmful material can pass through, and "may" keep smoke constituents in your lungs longer.

[Charlie Horse]

actually, i HERD it could put holes in your lungs 4 times quicker than regular cigs. and that's like saying it would take 25 years for menthol and 100 years for regular cigs.

[Swizzy89304]

PENIS! sorry i'm horny again i need sex.

Kinky bitch... how old are you? Please be somewhere near 18 (my age) lol, otherwise I'll be the resident peadophile from now on.

Oh yeah, try using baccy from a menthol fag with weed. Tastes gorgeous, not everyone likes it though... seems to be about 50/50.

[johnfcthree]

there are "muscles" in your lungs. and when they detect smoke, they shrink your lungs up so that you cannot inhale as deep. when you smoke menthol, the menthol in the ciggarettes numb those muscles, making them inactive. this is why menthol smokers inhale more deeply than ppl who smoke regular ciggs.

[Swizzy89304]

So smoking a menthol J will actually decrease the THC and cannabinoids entering your body? Damn. It's so tasty though!!!
I'll have to invent the Herb tic-tac someday.

[Fabolous]

menthols = Nasty, Reg tastest so much better... well thats just to me that is.

[johnfcthree]

no, if u put menthol in a j, the menthol will numb your lungs muscles, as i explained earlier, and it will allow you to inhale more smoke. so you get more THC.

[Swizzy89304]

Oooooohhhhh, sorry I'm a bit of a dumbfuck lol. I think I get more intelligent when I'm stoned. Or at least that's what I like to think.

[Synthesizer Man]

I know some research has been conducted, and there is a possibility it can cause infertility. Lets give all the chavs free menthol cigarettes!

The only time I've smoked them is when an old tenant left several packs behind.

[Fabolous]

no, if u put menthol in a j, the menthol will numb your lungs muscles, as i explained earlier, and it will allow you to inhale more smoke. so you get more THC.

So true, i would normal add some of that shit to my J's if i could only stand the taest of it.. it gives me headaches :o

[stephielamb]

happy fr :thumbsup:

[Swizzy89304]

Happy fr?

[Its a Plant]

mann oh man I havent smoked a dart since new years. oh well, need to get in shape for season. anyways, menthols do put little holes in your lungs from what I have read. It sounds crazy, but I believe it. they are nice to smoke on while tripping though, I must say :D

[stephielamb]

[Fabolous]

thats suppost to say happy friday
LoL i have never heard it be said like that




menthols do put little holes in your lungs from what I have read. It sounds crazy, but I believe it.

yup just another reson why i stick with the Marbles 100s

[stephielamb]

is it bad to get court smoking at school? i haven't been, yet lol. i'm bored someone talk to meee llllllloooooooooooooooooooool. happy friday :smokin:

[psychopixi]

The general consensus round here is, and has been for as long as I can remember, that menthols are bad.

And I dunno what it's like where you go to school, but unless it's super lax then yes, of course it's bad getting caught smoking in school. Duh.

[speeds207]

i knew how to smoke properly when i was 14..... haha.. stephielamb.. drag the cigarette with your mouth.. when all the smokes in your mouth open your lips and inhale quickly, savor the smoke in your lungs.. and blow it out. honestly how old are you?

[beachguy in thongs]

Honestly, how old are you? You don't "savor" it in your lungs. You must be smoking during study hall.

You don't pull it in your mouth, you pull it directly into your lungs. Well, you do kind of do that.

Man, this is getting crazy. Forget I said all this.

[beachguy in thongs]

Wow, things must be different in the U.K.

Around here, non-menthols are bad.

[daZenfmeister]

cuz my boyfriend says i don't smoke propperly


You'll know if you smoke right, you get a nicotine buzz, feels like an intense headrish or something to me. Just suck on the orange part and then take a small inhale when you're done and then exhale and if smoke comes out then you've done it right. But smoking is bad for you so dont do it. :thumbsup:

[beachguy in thongs]

That sounds like the sugar and liquor thing, from college. You know, when you lick sugar off your hand and then take a shot.

This is what you do. Suck on the orange, take a hit of your cigarette, spit out the orange juice, and then exhale.

[daZenfmeister]

damn right, or if your drunk, try to light the orange part and inhale off of the plain white end.

[stephielamb]

menthols have white bits lol all white! i must do it right i always get head rushes.

[Swizzy89304]

Well, an easy way is to light the end that has no tobacco sticking out the end lol.

Next comes the same question but regarding cigars...

Edit: cool, I just burped and it souded like 'BIITE!'

[buddymyfriend]

damn right, or if your drunk, try to light the orange part and inhale off of the plain white end.

Lol!

I've done that plenty of times! Stick the wrong end in my mouth and light the butt, what a drunken fool! lol!

Peace

Buddy

[stephielamb]

my boyfriend once did that. because it was dark.

[beachguy in thongs]

I do that when I get the brilliant idea to pick up a cigarette off of the floor and put it back in the pack, then call it "my lucky cigarette". I don't do that, often , because you can see where it leads.

[Swizzy89304]

I do the lucky ciggy thing too, but with the first cig and the one in the middle of the front row. And smoke that one last aswell, otherwise it brings bad luck!

[redsoxfan49]

thanks:) i really like them lol. i have richmond. you know when you take smoke back, is it just breathing in?

this bitch is retarded.

[Ganjasaurusrex]

ummm. Whats more dangerous this .357 magnum or this .38 special?

Had to make an analogy. Just messin with ya.

[stephielamb]

don't call me retarded. i now have a cannabis leaf belly bar :stoned:

[stephielamb]

see if this works

[Rarrr]

lol, this page provides a crash course in how to smoke a cigarette.

[BobBong]

menthols are only healthy for bla.. african-american people. and stephielamb, start off by smokin weed first befroe cigs

What kind of racist horse shit is that you jack ass? menthol's aren't going to be healthy for anyone...singling out one race just to try to slip a stupid ass joke by? I noticed you just HAD to stop yourself from saying "blacks"..as if that's going to justify your bigotry?

Blow me kronikdaze. Cause lord knows your girlfriend won't do it.

[litespeed]

menthols ARE HARDER TO QUIT THEN THE others, the old lady has been tring to quit for years and has not. I smoke only the best ................weed

[sdffa11]

menthol contains something in the cigarettes that regular cigarettes dont. i think its fiberglass or something and i heard its really bad for you. menthol is for girls anyways, smoke regulars.

[stephielamb]

i am a girl

[redsoxfan49]

and you're a dumbass

[Up In Smoke 420]

I'll stick to weed, thanks. I've never understood why people smoke Cigs, you dont get high you might buzzed your first few months smoking but I want to get wrecked, blown, ripped, drunk, or anything else smoking cigs is pointless and stupid IMO.

[Swizzy89304]

menthol contains something in the cigarettes that regular cigarettes dont.It's something called a polo.











:p

[Ganjasaurusrex]

Ummmm. Is it safer to take a corner at 80 miles an hour in the rain or when the roads are icy? Lol.

Im just messin with ya.

[tylerdurden6]

i used to love the headrushes i got when smoking a cig, i'd love to have those back, but nicotine tolerance doesnt go away easily. I didnt have a drag for three weeks one time and i didnt even feel anything after having a cig.

[Swizzy89304]

The thing I hate about cigs is that sometimes I can go for days without one - then I'll get the biggest craving ever for one, and can easily smoke 10 more or less one after the other. May not sound like a lot to some people, but for me its a lot seeing as I only smoke that amount a day - let alone an hour! I think I can control my cravings relatively well, as I've been smoking since I was 14 and I'm now 18 and a half, and have'nt been increasing my nicotine intake for the past year or so. Also I smoke B&H Silver, and they contain very low amounts of nicotine and tar (unsure about the carbon monoxide levels though).
Plus theres the 'ghost nicotine' where you have a cig and don't feel replenished in the slightest way possible. So you have another... and another... and another... and another...

Until all that nicotine suddenly hits you at one. Major headrush, usually followed by a visit to the sick bowl. Cigs are bad, full stop. But right now I'm just not at that point in my life where I feel like I need to quit - something no doubt I'll regret in the future, but I live for today and not for tomorrow.

[kronikdaze420]

bob bong it was a joke u fuckin canuck. havent you seen chappelles show "I know black people" or do they not get that show in Canada

[kronikdaze420]

not that i have anything against canadians cuz i live right by the canadian border

[speeds207]

leave him alone alot hes just saying stereotypically most "african-americans" do smoke newports. it wasnt a joke.

thats like saying most punks smoke reds.


not everyone is out to make fun of black people. get over yourself.

[stephielamb]

i'm bored and cold and happy cuz i have 27 fags wooo

[beachguy in thongs]

i'm bored and cold and happy cuz i have 27 fags wooo
Do you have a circle jerk going on, over there?



Just playin' on the "fags". :smokin:

[stephielamb]

that would be cool to watch lol. if chad was next to me naked anyway, and no other people and sex and naked and .... *drools* :p

[beachguy in thongs]

So, you're saying you'd like to see your boyfriend, Jake, I mean, Chad jerking off, while neither of you have your clothes on?

That's like saying that I'd rather have a wife to watch masturbate than be able to watch a bunch of girls playing with themselves. :confused:

27 girls.

[stephielamb]

how do you take tobacco out of cigarettes?

[beachguy in thongs]

Keep twisting it.
