This project will add to the body of research the FDA is examining to determine whether or how to regulate menthol flavoring in tobacco products.
About 75-percent of adult black smokers and about 25-percent of adult white smokers in the United States smoke menthol cigarettes, according to a release from the UW-Madison.
At this point, little is known about what the risks of smoking menthol versus non-menthol cigarettes with regard to tobacco dependence or quitting motivation and success.
The proposed research will use the resources of the Wisconsin Smokers' Health Study 2 to determine the associations of menthol-smoking versus smoking non-menthol cigarettes with tobacco dependence, attempts to quit smoking, and quitting success.
