Talk:Menthol cigarette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Most African American smokers are addicted to menthols." This needs a citation, and rewording if accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.226.1.136 (talkcontribs)


"It would be interesting to know when mentholated cigarettes were first put on the market, whose idea it was, etc."

  • I can't help but feel this survey was biased or not well conducted. I see white people smoking menthol much more often than 13/20%, nationwide. Likewise, it sounds quite unlikely 56% of black smokers will not smoke a non menthol cigarette if its the only one available, especially compared to 28% white people. If true, perhaps this survey was conducted in a place where racial cliques smoke for fashion, ect? It's defiantly a classic example of wikipedia preferring a possibly unreliable source thats cited than completely true uncited fact. THat's just my personal thoughts, however.
