When my father quit for periods of time, he would always start up again on menthols because the volume he smoked hurt too much with his Marlboro reds, and he said the menthols made it easier.
Yes, it is that addictive that he would knowingly switch to menthols to help him ramp back up again.
- fromthestart 8y agoTo be frank, his anecdote conflicts with my own. It is pure speculation that inhaling menthol actually creates an analgesic effect which works towards the sensation of smoke in the lungs. I find mentholated cigarettes harsher, because menthol has a certain heat to it not unlike peppermint.
