Racial disparities in intensity of smoke exposure and nicotine intake among low-dependence smokers
2021, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :Meanwhile, the established high prevalence of menthol cigarette smokers in Black relative to white smokers–-which was also observed in our sample—has led to speculation that menthol increases the risk of smoking-related disease in Black smokers by weakening the effects of irritants in tobacco smoke, allowing smokers to inhale each cigarette with greater intensity (Strasser et al., 2013). However, there have been mixed conclusions regarding the effects of mentholated cigarettes on puff topography and nicotine intake (e.g., Ahijevych et al., 1996; Jarvik et al., 1994; Lawrence et al., 2011; Richardson, 1997; (Strasser et al., 2013). Regardless of menthol status, Blacks in our sample had higher levels of nicotine intake per cigarette than whites, and this was consistent with past findings (Ross et al., 2016a,b; St. Helen et al., 2019a,b).
Custom mentholation of commercial cigarettes for research purposes
2014, Toxicology ReportsCitation Excerpt :Laboratory-based studies have also yielded mixed results because of compliance issues that require established menthol or nonmenthol cigarette smokers to use the opposite cigarette style for the extended periods necessary to compare classic measures of toxicity [7]. For example, when comparing biomarkers of exposure between menthol and nonmenthol smokers (e.g., cotinine, carbon monoxide [CO]), some studies showed decreased levels, some increased, and some no difference [4,17–23]. The reason for this may be that commercial cigarettes are so highly engineered that there are many significant differences between menthol and nonmenthol cigarettes other than menthol levels.
Lack of effect of menthol level and type on smokers' estimated mouth level exposures to tar and nicotine and perceived sensory characteristics of cigarette smoke
2012, Regulatory Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Puff volumes were reported in six studies. A decrease in puff volume with mentholated cigarettes was reported in four of the studies, three of which were significant (Nil and Battig, 1989; Jarvik et al., 1994; McCarthy et al., 1995) and one not significant (Ahijevych et al., 1996). One study reported similar puff volumes for menthol and non-menthol cigarettes (Miller et al., 1994) and one reported a significant increase in puff volume associated with menthol cigarettes (Ahijevych and Parsley, 1999).
Menthol smoking in relation to time to first cigarette and cotinine: Results from a community-based study
2012, Regulatory Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore we further examined this relationship in relation to the biological uptake of nicotine. While some previous studies have shown that menthol smokers have higher cotinine levels (Clark et al., 1996; Caskey et al., 1993; Ahijevych and Garrett, 2004) most data including our previous report from this study found no differences (Wagenknecht et al., 1990; Ahijevych et al., 1996; Muscat et al., 2009a; Heck, 2009; Signorello et al., 2009; Caraballo et al., 2011). None of these studies considered how menthol may vary by TTFC, which itself is highly associated with increased cotinine (Muscat et al., 2009b; Etter et al., 1999).

A decrease in puff volume with mentholated cigarettes was reported in four studies, three of which were statistically significant (Nil and Battig, 1989; Jarvik et al., 1994 and McCarthy et al., 1995) and one statistically insignificant (Ahijevych et al., 1996). One study reported similar puff volumes for menthol and non-menthol cigarettes (Miller et al., 1994) and one reported a significant increase in puff volume associated with menthol cigarettes (Ahijevych and Parsley, 1999).
