Measures of initiation and progression to increased smoking among current menthol compared to non-menthol cigarette smokers based on data from four U.S. government surveys

Abstract: There are no large-scale, carefully designed cohort studies that provide evidence on whether menthol cigarette use is associated with a differential risk of initiating and/or progressing to increased smoking. However, questions of whether current menthol cigarette smokers initiated smoking at a younger age or are more likely to have transitioned from non-daily to daily cigarette use compared to non-menthol smokers can be addressed using cross-sectional data from U.S. government surveys. Analyses of nationally … Show more

“…Menthol flavoring has been shown to modestly affect cigarette smoking topography and also appears to have an effect on smoking acceptance and initiation. 31,32 A further understanding of the quantitative and qualitative effects of flavoring on smoke topography, toxicant exposure and subjective effects of cigar is warranted.…”

“…One suggested a small but statistically significant younger mean age of first regular smoking only among adolescents in TUS-CPS (14.90 years versus 15.06 years). 83 In the other example, among current smokers ages 45-80, a small statistically significant younger mean age of first cigarette (16.7 vs. 17.0 years) was reported among those who ever smoked menthol in the unadjusted analysis, but age of first cigarette was not a predictor of ever menthol use when adjusted for covariates. 88 Indicators of dependence (i.e., smoking frequency, time to first cigarette, night waking to smoke, cigarettes per day, and smoking duration)…”

“…35,36,73,74,78,79,91,92 For the current review, 15 publications were identified as including information on smoking frequency. 46,67,83,86,89,[93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102] Nearly all of the new studies provide evidence of either no difference or less frequent smoking among menthol smokers. Studies supporting that menthol smokers are not more likely than nonmenthol smokers to be daily smokers or to smoke more frequently include multiple publications with adjusted analyses of large and representative survey data 35,67,74,79,83,92,97 and unadjusted analyses from other representative and large studies.…”
