NO. menthol cig's have fiberglass in them. anything that has nicotine and mint has fiberglass in them. example: mint dip wintergreen dip, menthol cigarettes. your best bet is to get some marlboro ultra lights.

No, there is FIBERGLASS in menthol cigarettes.....
Smoke the menthol and get bleeding lungs as well as lung cancer. There are no best ones.

no, menthol cigarettes are worse, your inhaling fiberglass from them. my grandfather died from smoking menthol cigs. you should stick to non-menthol and smoke 100's not the shorties that Marlboro puts out. try to find a brand that is smooth to the throat.. the less irritation your throat has the better. and i am a smoker and we should all quit. hope that helped you out with your question


angela b
I don't think any kind or brand is any better or worse than any other but the cheap ciggies thats smuggled into the country is full of all sorts so don't smoke them i think mayfair smooth is the best my fav anyway


pancake on my face
I think menthol is even worse. There are no best ones. You should just quit, it's killing you.


Jaguar
NO is the short answer, so if you are going to smoke, you may as well enjoy the proper stuff!

Absolutely not!!!!Menthol opens lungs and it's worst!!!

nope they're not, theyre just as bad, try to stop it b4 July 1st, you know why!!! good luck!!

wouldnt think so the menthol probably opens up the lungs more especially as you tend to draw longer on cig


ballerinacaz
God, why are you even asking if they're healthier, give it up, it's killing you, and anyway on the 1st July you're gonna only be allowed to smoke at home and if you have kids that's gonna kill them too...


Doodlestuff
No, they are no better. But the advantage is it is MUCH harder to bum cigarettes from others so easier to quit. Lower nicotine cigarettes were found to be no better because people actually inhaled more deeply.

Please note: don't let previous failures to quit daunt you. The average smoker has to quit 7-9 times before they succeed. Try different methods. Cold turkey didn't work for me, but does for others. I eliminated all the places I smoked until I only smoked in my chair. Then took up crocheting to keep my hands busy. I had to give up beer drinking for 2 years because I always wanted a cigarette!!

Please get your information straight before spreading 10 year old rumors. Cigarette smoking is bad, true. However there isn't fiberglass in menthol cigarettes, or in all the other 'mint/menthol' items another user here mentioned. I'll provide links to back up my claims.... can you? It's already obvious most of the smokers here know it's dangerous, it's silly to result to government-esque scare tactics to get someone to quit. If they want to quit they will.

No. Menthol cigarettes have exactly the same ingredients as regular cigarettes. The only difference is that, in addition, they add the menthol flavoring.


hourglass_beauty
They are both bad for you.

If I said yes, would you breath more easily?


navster01
No lectures , no theories , no preaching .. but the simple answer is ..... no.


Black Orchid
No they are not healthier though a lot of people seem to think so
In fact they could be worse because of the menthol taste people could smoke more of them


reggieg
i worked for a cigarette company for years so this is the truth. the only difference between menthol and non menthol cigarettes is the paper on the menthol is infused with a ment smell. As the cigarettes are processed the vapors get into the tobacco and !Voila!, a menthol cigarette. So the answer is they are equally unhealthy. The only thing that could make smoking a little healthier is the strength. Ultra Lights have less nicotine and tar than the full flavor or regular ones. Hope I was some help. You know as well as I do none of them are safe.


silly gorbie
is a .22 bullet any less lethal that a .38?

There is no best, not only are menthol cigarettes no better than standard, but low tar are no safer than high tar! Smokers who change between cigarettes simply alter their smoking technique to bring their nicotine levels to their normal requirement.


Sal*UK
Nope - they contain just about as much rubbish as normal ones.

I plan on giving up on Sunday *shakes in terror!!*
