In the African countries relying mainly on black person, the smoking rate of the peppermint cigarette is not very high.

The experiment of Macht verified the function on the nerve centre of menthol in 1939. In this experiment, find after little mouse's oral cavity inject a large amount of menthol, the little mouse becomes very excited at the beginning, and then the excitability of the little mouse disappears, and then lose consciousness and go into a coma finally.
In a word, smoking the peppermint cigarette not only will not reduce the danger of smoking, may increase and smoke the danger caused instead. At present though the market of peppermint cigarette is very small in our country, consider the huge population base, a and then small one smoke, lead, multiply by population of our country, quantity its can too little either. We should take the smoking rate of peppermint cigarette that the effective measure reduced women and the teenagers, and then reduce the whole crowd's smoking rate.
