Menthol cigarettes are a rather specific subject and not everyone will like it. Especially from a manufacturer that has gained worldwide fame precisely because of its classic tart taste. Today we will deal with the types of Marlboro cigarettes with menthol and discuss their pros and cons.

Classic brand and range expansion

Marlboro cigarettes with and without menthol are known to people around the world. It doesn't matter if a person smokes or not. It was this brand of American tobacco that became a certain stereotype in society. The company gained great fame precisely because of its loy alty to the classic taste and a certain rigor of packaging design, which has not changed for many years. Perhaps that is why flavored cigarettes from this manufacturer have not gained popularity and are popular among a limited circle of connoisseurs.

Views

Under "Marlboro" with menthol, as a rule, two types of products are meant:

• Marlboro Ice Boost - classicthe taste of cigarettes with a capsule that needs to be crushed when smoking. You can “press the button” and feel how the smoke becomes cold, or you can not do this and be content with the usual taste. This variety can be called a kind of innovation before the classic Marlboro with menthol.
• Marlboro Light Menthol is a flavored version that is almost impossible to find on the domestic market. It differs from the first type in that the taste of menthol will be immediately, and it will not work to get rid of it. The fact is that the cigarette filter is impregnated with a special composition, which gives this tobacco product a characteristic flavor.

Capsule or classic

What to choose? Everyone has their own answer to this question. But let's try to consider the main differences between these varieties of Marlboro cigarettes with menthol:

• It's worth knowing that the capsule option allows the customer to choose the flavor himself, depending on today's preferences. Do you want menthol? You can distribute the capsule. Do not want? It's even simpler - "Marlboro Light Menthol" does not give such a choice. The taste will be different a priori.
• The capsule allows the consumer not to come into direct contact with the flavor compound. When smoking, only the smell is felt. The classic version of Marlboro with menthol will make you feel not only the sensations of cold smoke, but also its taste on your lips. Theoretically, if you do not light a cigarette, but simply hold it in your mouth, the effect will be the same as when smoking.
• Positivea feature of Marlboro Light Menthol is its predominantly imported origin. Philip Morris does not manufacture this type of cigarette in Russia. This species is practically impossible to find in stores, and many have seen a real product - Marlboro with menthol, in the photo and nothing more. Of course, this fact automatically raises the rating of the package that falls into the hands of the consumer.

To each his own, as they say. Both versions have their pros and cons.

Pros and cons

Marlboro with menthol, like any other flavored cigarettes, has both positive and negative characteristics.

Experts attribute the following qualities to the minuses:

• Menthol increases the susceptibility of lung cells to nicotine, which increases the harmful effects and promotes addiction.
• This product has a negative effect on the functioning of the heart and reproductive system, especially in men.
• The mild analgesic effect of menthol can mask serious diseases of the bronchi and lungs, which can lead to very serious and sad consequences for the smoker's body.
• They are easier to smoke, which increases the consumption of cigarettes by the average smoker.
• Menthol cigarettes create a halo of attraction for younger people, causing an increase in smoking among teenagers.
• In the US, menthol cigarettes, including Marlboro, have been banned since 2011.

As a plus forobservance of objectivity can be distinguished:

• Lighter and more pleasant fragrance.
• Tobacco smoke does not burn the throat, even if you finish smoking a cigarette to the very filter.
• Cigarettes with menthol can eliminate bad breath.
• Wide product lines allow the consumer to choose the taste according to their preferences.

Thus, we come to the conclusion that Marlboro with menthol is a classic product that has been modified to suit the needs of some consumers. The degree of its harmfulness will be determined by experts, and the consumer can only make his personal choice - to smoke or not.
