	Menthol cigarettes harder to quit, study finds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Menthol is a peppermint-based flavour that could potentially increase the harm caused by cigarettes, Dr. Mark Pletcher of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues proposed.

		But it's the eccentric, sometimes Ziggy Stardust-style dual vocals of guitarist Balthazar de Ley and bassist Joel Spencer, combined with de Ley's penchant for lyrics that come across like a cold fusion of poetry homework and a science-lab project, that give the trio their intriguing edge.
		Menthol's homonymous debut opens with guitars buzzing and drummer Colin Koteles pounding out a furious, algebraic beat.

		Twelve cases of contact sensitivity to menthol and peppermint oil were reported in patients presenting with intra-oral symptoms in association with burning mouth syndrome, recurrent oral ulceration or a lichenoid reaction (interlacing network of white lines - forms a spider web pattern on the mouth cavity mucosa).

		It was concluded that as a result of this 13-week inhalation study in rats that the addition of menthol to cigarettes does not significantly alter the pattern, incidence, severity or reversibility of any of the effects attributable to smoke exposure (Gaworski, 1997)..
