Wikipedia description:

A menthol cigarette is a cigarette infused with the compound menthol which imparts a “minty” flavor to the smoke. Menthol also decreases irritant sensations from nicotine by desensitizing receptors, making smoking feel less harsh compared to regular cigarettes. The American Lung Association has suggested that they are more addictive. Menthol cigarettes are just as hard to quit and are just as harmful as regular cigarettes. Menthol cigarettes have been banned in several countries, including Australia, Canada, Ethiopia, all member states of the European Union, Moldova, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and some areas of the United States, including California, the District of Columbia, and Massachusetts.
