Differences between adult sexual minority females and heterosexual females on menthol smoking and other smoking behaviors: Findings from Wave 4 (2016–2018) of the population assessment of tobacco and health study
2022, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, there were no differences in cigarette dependence. The fact that sexual minority females had similar levels of cigarette dependence, even though they were more likely to be menthol smokers and smoked fewer cigarettes per day, further underscores the notion that menthol may be linked to greater nicotine ingestion (Hymowitz, Mouton, & Edkholdt, 1995; Jarvik, Tashkin, Caskey, McCarthy, & Rosenblatt, 1994; Wickham, 2015). Sexual minority females may smoke their cigarettes more intensely or for longer periods of time than heterosexual females.
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 ReportsLack 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).
Targeting anti-smoking messages: Does audience race matter?
2012, Addictive BehaviorsA survey of mouth level exposure to cigarette smoke in the United States
2011, Regulatory Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :No significant difference between menthol and non-mentholated cigarettes was reported in four of the studies (Caskey et al., 1993; Miller et al., 1994; Ahijevych et al., 1996; Pickworth et al., 2002). A significantly reduced puff number was associated with mentholated products in three of the studies (Nil and Battig, 1989; Jarvik et al., 1994; McCarthy et al., 1995). Puff volumes were reported in six studies.
