At the present moment, menthol is added not only to sweets but also to cigarettes, cigars, little cigars, smokeless tobacco products, and tobacco rolling paper. Menthol has proved its uniqueness, delicious taste and odor for years.
There are cigarettes brands, which are only made in menthol flavor. In other words, there are produced only Menthol Cigarettes but not Classic ones. These common Menthol Cigarette brands include Kool, Newport, and Salem.
However, some brands prefer to offer Menthol and Non-Menthol Cigarettes. Thus, smoker has the possibility to taste different flavors of cigarettes but not switching to another brand in order to seek for other alternatives. Other brands of menthol and non-menthol cigarettes include Doral, Virginia Slims, Marlboro, and Camel.
Marlboro is a brand for both kinds of cigarettes. That is the reason it occupies the first place on the tobacco market and wins the competition. This brand is used by 42,2% of smokers. Newport is second best (11.3%), then it is followed by Camel (7.5%), Basic (4.2%), Doral (3.1%), Kool (2.9%), Parliament (2.0%), Salem (1.9%), and USA Gold (1.9%).
It is proved that about 90% of cigarettes, introduced on the market, contain menthol. Even if they are not advertised as menthol cigarettes, they still belong to this kind of cigarettes. There is a rule, when cigarettes are considered to be menthol – they should contain a specific amount of menthol (0.1% to 0.45% of the tobacco filler weight). Only then they will be marketed and advertised as Menthol Cigarettes.
