For anyone that smokes, can you tell me............?

what the difference is between smoking light cigarretes and cigarettes with menthol?

Update:

By the way, I never said I smoked. Please pay attention to the question, and also, who are you to criticize people that smoke?

    Menthol has a very crisp taste and aftertaste...like smoking a regular cigarette with a mint in it. Light cigarettes are just that...a lighter taste than the regular ones.

    I've heard that Menthol does much more damage to your lungs. It contains glass which can slowly cut up your insides. Scary... Menthols are more harsh, while light ones do contain the same harmful ingredients, however, in smaller amounts. Really, I don't think it makes much of a difference, but Lights are less harsh. I smoke USA Gold Lights. If I switched to another brand or even to regular, it would make me really sick.

    one is stupid and bad for your health ... and the other is stupid and bad for your health.

    there's no difference. don't be fooled into thinking that any kind of cigarette is less bad for you or less addictive than another.

    and I am a smoker - which I will be the first to admit is an utterly unnecessary and idiotic thing to be. don't start ... and if you just started, stop while you still can.

    Please stop smoking if you do, and don't start if you don't.

    Leave the ciggies and the ciggy questions alone
