Menthol-cigarettes more harmful and harder to quit!

Do you prefer smoking menthol-cigarette? If yes, than let me warn you that it would be difficult for you to quit it owing to the peppermint flavor contained in it.

Use of menthol-cigarette unduly may lead to increased rates of cancer, heart disease and other smoking-related illnesses.

It must be noted that whatever cigarette you smoke, it’s always harmful. Here, the information does not state that menthol cigarette is more harmful but harder to quit than other cigarettes.

Therefore, menthol- smokers when try to quit smoking, the person require more encouragement, support and counseling. The study also found upsurge of calcium in arteries increases the risk of heart disease and decreases functional rates of lungs but it is not found whether menthol-cigarette is to blamed for it or not.

Moreover, the reason why menthol-cigarette proved difficult to quit is also not found out and researchers also wondered that on one hand, menthol-cigarette may lift breath holding and lower nicotine metabolism, thereby result in raising
addictive nicotine levels in blood while on other hand menthol providing contentment in smoking.

In the end, I would like to say that whatever the kind of cigarette may be it is always harmful, so try to quit smoking as early as possible, if you desire a healthy body.
