Where is the menthol in cigarettes Like is it in the tobacco itself or the filter or what?

the silver foil which wraps the cigarette contains the menthol. enough time between production and sale ensures the menthol has fully flavoured the cigarette. tobacco readily absorbs must scents and with early production machinists were not permitted to wear strong perfumes whilst on the production floor. menthol can also be finely sprayed directly onto the filter during production of the filter. opertors of these machines tend to suffer less during head colds but tend to look permanently hung over due the red puffy eyes.

How do menthol cigarettes work?
They put menthol in the filter. Rip the tobaco of a menthol cigarete and draw clean air through a clean menthol cigarete filter and it wil be mentholated air. No they don't. The tabocco itself is menthol. I smoke menthol tobacco and I use normal filters, not menthol filters, which I don't even know if you can buy. Rub Vick's Vapor Rub on the filter, and it will kinda taste like a menthol. your both right it depends on the brand. alot of camels use menthol in the filter and they have to put alot to oer compensate for the menthol not being in the tobacco like crushes. camel silver menthols have both they have menthol in the tobacco and a ball you can crush in the filter to make it more menthol. as for making a cig taste like menthol ive heard people say tooth paste but it does not work it cloggs the filter. havent tryed anything else.

Does pipe tobacco contain less added toxins than cigararettes?
No, pipe tobacco contains the same amount of toxins as any regular cigarette. Like light cigarettes, the amount of toxins and harmful substances are exactly the same, contrary to what some tobacco companies may want you to believe. Tobacco is a plant. It is used in pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, cigarettes, and cigars. Also, all of these have tar in it. The only difference is that one is chewed and one is smoked. Both have the same harmful contents that cause the same harmful effects (which can lead up to cancer, respiratory problems, and even death). There is no difference between pipe tobacco and regular cigarettes because cigarettes HAVE tobacco in them. the toxins in cigarette can be divided to 2 groups, one is the natural component that are in the tobacco plant, that al-thaw mostly are harmless, when burned do become toxic. one of those is Tar. the other group are chemicals added by the tobacco industry to cigarets for various reasons. main ones are to allow better burn of the cigarette and prevent it from extinguishing. and another group are chemicals added to enhance the absorption of some of the addictive toxins like nicotine for the sole purpose of hooking the consumer. Pipe tobacco have none of the burning enhancing chemicals, and as result is much more difficult to smoke and keep alight, and there are no chemicals for the addictive propose because pipe smokers generally do no inhale the smoke and there for generally avoid the nicotine kick and the addiction. so for the most part pipe tobacco is in the natural form and somewhat safer, thaw not intended for deep inhaling
What are the components of cigarettes?
Although, to the naked eye, all cigarettes appear to look similar, there are many variations in both the design and mix of tobaccos, including king size, superkings, lights, low tar and menthol cigarettes. The cigarette itself consists of the tobacco section and the filter section. The lengths can vary depending on the brand and affect the taste, strengths and amounts of smoke. The filters differ depending on the amount of smoke that is yielded by the cigarette, as does the paper. The tobacco includes tobacco lamina (the flat part of the tobacco leaf), tobacco stem (midribs of the leaf), and expanded lamina. Flavorings and food type ingredients are added to some brands of cigarettes, often American style blends, to compliment the natural tobacco taste, keep the tobacco moist, replace some of the sugar lost in curing and give the many differing brands their own characteristic flavors and aromas. Other ingredients act as binders or filters, control moisture, and protect against degradation. At each stage there is strict quality control to ensure that the tastes remain constant long term. Nicotine is not added in the manufacture of cigarettes but occurs naturally in all varieties of tobacco plants. Filters are attached to the cigarette to trap and reduce the amounts of tar and nicotine in the smoke and are made mainly from cellulose acetate fibers, a derivative of wood pulp, known as tow. The fibers are bonded together with a hardening agent, triacetin plasticizer, which helps the filter to keep its shape. The filter is wrapped in paper and sealed with adhesive plus coatings to prevent it sticking to the lips. Sometimes charcoal is added to filters. Filter tips are biodegradable over a period of between a month and three years, depending on the environmental conditions. Although there is ongoing research, currently there is no known practical method of making consumer-acceptable filters that would degrade so quickly that they would not cause short-term littering problems. The best way to reduce potential litter problems is for consumers to dispose of filters and cigarette packs in a responsible way.AnswerCigarettes are supposed to contain tobacco and flavorings, plus paper, ink and polyester tow. Some cigarettes only contain tobacco with no flavorings, but most cigarettes have some flavoring in them. Cocoa powder is a very popular flavoring, although cigarettes don't taste like chocolate.Some cigarettes have ammonia in them, and some antismoking advocates say it was put in there to enhance the nicotine level of the cigarette so it's more addictive. It might do that--who's to say?--but it's in there because tobacco produces ammonia while it ages. If you age tobacco for several years, the ammonia will leach out of the tobacco. If you buy a bale of tobacco grown in 2009 and make cigarettes out of it in 2009, there will be a lot of ammonia in it.Cigar makers age their tobaccos for many years to get the ammonia out. This is why someone who never smoked cigarettes before he started smoking handrolled cigars can't smoke cigarettes--the ammonia fumes make the cigarette taste so bad he can't smoke it. People who started smoking cigarettes first think that's how they're supposed to taste.Many years ago, tobacco was sold under price stabilization. A tobacco farmer was guaranteed a certain price for his tobacco; in exchange, he was only allowed to sell a certain amount every year. He could get more than that, because tobacco was auctioned. He was guaranteed to get the minimum amount because if all else failed, the tobacco stabilization cooperative would buy it at the "stabilization price" but very good tobaccos sold for very good prices. If your quota was 10,000 pounds and you grew 11,000 pounds, you had to hold back the excess tobacco until the next year. When you brought that tobacco to market, sometimes you could get an extra good price for it because the year of aging would allow much of the ammonia to leave the leaf.Hydrogen Cyanide - a highly poisonous gas used in execution chambersCarbon monoxide - a poisonous gas found in car exhaust fumesFormaldehyde - used as disinfectant and embalming fluidBenzene -a toxic petrol additive and industrial solventMethanol - a poisonous alcohol used in anti-freezePolonium - highly radioactive and toxic elementAmmonia - a strong alkali used as a refrigerantAcetone - a solvent used in nail-polish removerNicotine - a nerve poison used in insecticideRadon - a carcinogenic radioactive gasSome are more harmful and well-known than others :) xButane - a flammable gas used as fuelToluene - an industrial solventArsenic - a common poisonTar - used in road surfacingDD - a banned pesticide
