Racial disparities in intensity of smoke exposure and nicotine intake among low-dependence smokers
2021, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCustom mentholation of commercial cigarettes for research purposes
2014, Toxicology ReportsCitation Excerpt :Laboratory-based studies have also yielded mixed results because of compliance issues that require established menthol or nonmenthol cigarette smokers to use the opposite cigarette style for the extended periods necessary to compare classic measures of toxicity [7]. For example, when comparing biomarkers of exposure between menthol and nonmenthol smokers (e.g., cotinine, carbon monoxide [CO]), some studies showed decreased levels, some increased, and some no difference [4,17–23]. The reason for this may be that commercial cigarettes are so highly engineered that there are many significant differences between menthol and nonmenthol cigarettes other than menthol levels.
Lack 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 PharmacologyTargeting anti-smoking messages: Does audience race matter?
2012, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Indeed, this strategy seems to have been successful as evidenced by higher purchase rates of cigarette brands (e.g., menthol cigarettes), which were advertised prominently in urban and minority neighborhoods (Alpert, Koh, & Connolly, 2008; HHS, 1989a, 1989b; National Cancer Institute, 2008). While studies of the mechanism behind the relationship between mentholated cigarette use and tobacco related diseases among African Americans is not conclusive (e.g., Siahpush, Singh, Jones, & Timsina, 2010), studies suggest increased use of such cigarettes contributes to increased rates of tobacco-related disease among African Americans in particular (Gallogly, 2007; Jarvik, Tashkin, Caskey, McCarthy, & Rosenblatt, 1994). Given that targeted cigarette advertising appears to have been so effective at increasing smoking in minority populations, it is surprising that so little work has been completed that examines targeting anti-smoking messages to different racial and ethnic groups in order to enhance their effectiveness in those populations.
A 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.
