12 Menthol Menthol cigarettes are disproportionately smoked by blacks. Menthol is the only flavoring not outlawed for use in cigarettes. Menthol has numbing qualities that can mask initial irritation from smoking and may affect inhalation behavior (ie. longer and deeper puffs). The FDA is investigating banning Menthol in cigarettes.

16 Other Tobacco Products (OTP) Small cigars have long been marketed and available in urban areas. They have always been cheap and accessible. Tobacco companies are now expanding the range of cheap cigars and cigarillos they offer. These products are still flavored, even though cigarettes are not. Some types of cigars are nearly indistinguishable from cigarettes; wrapping, price and/or flavoring is the only clue. Young people from DPH’s statewide youth movement, The 84, will talk more about how this issue affects their communities.

17 Other Tobacco Product Use* Among High School Students: Massachusetts, 1999-2009 Other Tobacco Products (OTP) are beginning to surpass cigarette consumption among adolescents in MA Source: Youth Risk Behavior Survey 1993-2009 * Used one or more days during the past 30 days.

18 The tobacco retail environment There is a greater density of tobacco retailers in minority communities This may be because of urban setting Result: greater exposure to advertising, greater ease of purchase, especially for youth
