They are just as bad as regular cigarettes, possibly worse, and yet people perceive them as less bad, causing overconsumption.
- eof 8y agoI don't see any evidence that people perceive them to be less bad. That article fakes a reference to that claim but it goes to a link that is irrelevant to the claim. I have known many menthol smokers and have spent most of my life around smokers. I have literally never once heard the opinion menthol was somehow safer. In fact, I have often heard the opposite; with claims that the menthols have "fiber glass" in them.
