薄荷香烟在年轻人中很受欢迎，非裔美国人吸烟者使用的比例不成比例。薄荷脑的薄荷味和清凉感被假设为增强了吸烟的吸引力和强化作用;然而，不同种族之间薄荷脑的主观吸引力的差异并不一致。二次数据分析研究了非裔美国人和白色年轻成年吸烟者之间对吸食薄荷醇香烟与非薄荷醇香烟的主观吸引力的差异。方法：从亚马逊土耳其机械公司（2018年12月至2019年1月）招募的年轻人（18-24岁）完成了一项烟草使用行为的在线调查。过去一年的吸烟者（n = 1726）回答了关于对吸烟的主观反应（奖励、满意度、喉咙刺激、渴望减少和厌恶）的问题。结果：与白色吸烟者（52.4%）相比，非洲裔美国人（73.2%）更喜欢薄荷香烟（p
