Menthol Cigarettes' Smokers Lower the Risk of Lung Cancer

According to a newly study, a mentholated cigarette are less to develop a lung cancer rather than the other types of cigarettes. In other words, the risk of lung cancer is for those people who smoke a regular cigarette it is proven by the researchers report.

In fact, these study menthol smokers had a somewhat lower risk of developing and dying from lung cancer than other regular smokers or non-menthol smokers that contrary to a popular hypothesis. On March 23, 2011 in the journal of the National Cancer Institute, the study of menthol cigarettes' smokers lower the risk of lung cancer was published online.

"While this study finds no difference in lung cancer rates in smokers of menthol cigarettes versus non-menthol cigarettes, it is still inconveniently true that all cigarettes can cause lung cancer, as well as other cancers, heart disease, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and circulatory problems," said Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "There is simply no safe smoking."

William J. Blot, of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, Tenn., and the International Epidemiology Institute, Rockville, and colleagues conducted a prospective study among 85,806 people enrolled in the Southern Community Cohort Study, an ongoing multiracial study in 12 southern states. Within this cohort, they identified 440 lung cancer patients and compared them with 2,213 matched controls (other people in the study with the same demographics, such as race, age, and sex, but without lung cancer) to make this study explore and proven.

The study found that the mentholated cigarette were associated a fewer lung cancer deaths and lower the risk of lung cancer incidence rather than regular cigarettes. Generally person who smokes 20 or more a day and a mentholated smokers about 12 times have a risk of lung cancer than a never-smokers. And person who smoke a regular cigarette were about 21 times more likely to have a lung cancer and other respiratory diseases.

A mentholated cigarette are no more, harmless and perhaps less than a non- mentholated cigarettes this is an authors conclude.
