Menthol Cigarettes Attract Young Smokers
In 2009, the President signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The Tobacco Control Act gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) right to control the production,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], advertisement and distribution of tobacco products to protect public health and to decrease tobacco consumption among children and adult people.
“This organization is created to prevent our children from becoming the future generation of Americans to die early from smoking related diseases. Also anti-smoking laws may stop our children from becoming addicted to nicotine for their whole lives,” stated, Dr. Howard Koh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], assistant secretary for Health Human Services.
This flavoring has been used for many years in order to treat cough and cold-related diseases. Menthol stimulates the cold receptors of the respiratory tract, thus producing a cooling sensation. The same sensations are felt by the menthol smokers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because this flavor makes cigarettes much pleasant. The use of menthol as a cough remedy dates back over one hundred years. First menthol cigarettes were discovered by Lloyd Hughes in 1920, who was inhaling menthol crystals in order to produce relief for a cold while seeking a cigarette when possible.
Newport, the best selling menthol brand comprises 10% marker share, but the brand is smoked by 17% of new smokers. The number of smokers who prefer menthol cigarettes has increased from 31% in 2004 to 33.9% in 2008,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with more evident raise among young smokers. In was also found that among Afro-American smokers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 82.6% consumed menthol cigarettes in comparison to 32.3% for Hispanic smokers and 23.8% for white smokers. Our children are our future,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it is our responsibility to keep children away from all sorts of tobacco products,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], assuring them a healthy future.
