Why did you take up menthol cigarettes and how addicted are you to your menthols?

`My answer....

I loved the look of a white filtered menthol cigarette. And when I smoked one age 11, I loved the minty taste. Mums friends who smoked menthols looked like they loved smoking and a few times I heard them quip they loved their menthols.

I wanted to see what it felt like to be addicted, to love menthol cigarettes like they did. I started smoking alpine menthol cigarettes. Mums friend told me if I smoke menthol cigarettes, I won't be able to stop smoking menthols. She was right.

I love my menthols.

The women in my immediate family were menthol smokers, so I started by sneaking cigarettes from their packs. But I also tried lots of non menthol brands. It was the 80s and most stores had no issues with selling them to teens. I definitely preferred menthol and still do. As far as how addicted I am, I prefer the word “dedicated”. Knowing the health risks, I’ve never once even considered quitting. I’ve been a daily smoker for coming up on 4 decades now, and still enjoy each and every cigarette. Max menthols from the late 80s til ‘06, and More menthols since then. I average a little over 2 packs a day.
