A menthol cigarette is a cigarette that contains menthol compounds that are meant to provide additional flavoring. The process of producing menthol involves corn mint extraction in some cases, while in other cases it is produced synthetically.

Global Menthol Cigarette Market: Dynamics

Drivers: The increasing popularity of menthol cigarettes among younger individuals can be attributed to the favorable effects that these products have on them. In contrast to regular cigarettes, menthol cigarettes produce a cooling effect that has an anesthetic or painkilling effect and the smoke produced is mild, allowing smokers to inhale with ease. Occasional smokers, beginners and individuals who are attempting to quit smoking, are among major consumers of such products. These consumers often complain about harsh levels of smoke that are produced from regular cigarettes as they find it difficult for them to inhale. Menthol cigarettes are proving to be an ideal option for consumers such as these, which is subsequently leading to increasing demand for these products.

In addition, regular smokers are steadily inclining towards the adoption of cigarettes that consist of high levels of menthol. This can be attributed to the ability of the product to offer relief for throat irritation that may have been caused due to the excessive smoking of regular cigarettes. The pleasant smell that menthol cigarettes emanate is further contributing to the increasing adoption of this product among women and younger age groups of the population.

Restraints: However, due to the harmful effects of menthol, market growth is expected to witness a decline over the next ten years. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed to impose a ban on the product. This is followed by some major regulatory policies adopted by the American government as well as other governments in North and Latin America. Such initiatives are expected to reduce the consumption of menthol cigarettes in the foreseeable future.
