这项研究评估了薄荷醇使用和尼古丁依赖之间的关系。全国青年烟草调查的数据表明，薄荷香烟的使用在新的、年轻的吸烟者中更为普遍。此外，与非薄荷醇吸烟者相比，吸烟薄荷醇香烟的年轻人在尼古丁依赖量表上的得分显著更高，控制了人口统计学背景和吸烟时间，频率和水平。这项研究表明，薄荷香烟是一种可能与青年吸烟有关的初级产品。
This study assessed the relationship between menthol use and nicotine dependence. Data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey indicated that menthol cigarette use was significantly more common among newer, younger smokers. Additionally, youth who smoked menthol cigarettes had significantly higher scores on a scale of nicotine dependence compared with nonmenthol smokers, controlling for demographic background and the length, frequency, and level of smoking. The study suggests that menthol cigarettes are a starter product that may be associated with smoking uptake by youth.
