May 2020; Episode 3 "The Problem of Menthol in Tobacco"
For decades, the tobacco industry has used menthol cigarettes to target vulnerable populations, including youth, African Americans, and the LGBT community. NYC Smoke-Free, a program of Public Health Solutions, works to curb menthol cigarette use by educating communities about their harmful impact on health — which is often overlooked. Menthol is a chemical compound extracted from the peppermint, or corn mint, plant that can also be created synthetically. Due to its minty flavor and cooling effect on the mouth and throat, menthol reduces the harshness of cigarette smoke, giving a false sense of “safe smoking”. As a result, menthol cigarettes are an increasingly popular choice among smokers and a common starter tobacco product for young people.
