Published in final edited form as: Nicotine Tob Res. 2016 July ; 18(7): 1575–1580. doi:10.1093/ntr/ntv162. Menthol Content in U.S. Marketed Cigarettes Jiu Ai, Ph.D.1, Kenneth M. Taylor, Ph.D.1, Joseph G. Lisko, M.S.2, Hang Tran, M.S.2, Clifford H. Watson, Ph.D.2, and Matthew R. Holman, Ph.D.1 1Office of Science, Center for Tobacco Products, United States Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD 20993 2Tobacco Products Laboratory, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA Abstract Introduction—In 2011 menthol cigarettes accounted for 32 percent of the market in the United States, but there are few literature reports that provide measured menthol data for commercial cigarettes. To assess current menthol application levels in the U.S. cigarette market, menthol levels in cigarettes labeled or not labeled to contain menthol was determined for a variety of contemporary domestic cigarette products. Method—We measured the menthol content of 45whole cigarettes using a validated gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method (GC/MS). Results—In 23 cigarette brands labeled as menthol products, the menthol levels of the whole cigarette ranged from 2.9 to 19.6 mg/cigarette, with three products having higher levels of menthol relative to the other menthol products. The menthol levels for 22 cigarette products not labeled to contain menthol ranged from 0.002 to 0.07 mg/cigarette.

  • Nevada Directory of Compliant Cigarettes and Roll-Your-Own Brand Families Listed by Manufacturer
    INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OF CHANGES TO THE NEVADA DIRECTORY OF COMPLIANT CIGARETTES AND ROLL-YOUR-OWN BRAND FAMILIES LISTED BY MANUFACTURER The Directory lists all Tobacco Product Manufacturers and brand families that are certified as being in compliance with Nevada law. Only cigarette brands and roll-your-own (RYO) tobacco products listed in the Directory may be sold, offered for sale or possessed for sale in Nevada. A manufacturer listed as a “PM” is a participating manufacturer to the National Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. A manufacturer listed as an “NPM” is a non-participating manufacturer to the National Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement. The Nevada Department of Taxation, in consultation with the Attorney General, and State Fire Marshall will update the Directory on an as-needed basis to make corrections or to add or delete manufacturers or brand families, and/or or styles. Licensed Nevada distributors will be notified by e- mail, to the address provided to the Department of Taxation, whenever a manufacturer or brand family is added to or removed from the Directory. If you are a licensed Nevada distributor, you are responsible for checking the most recent update of this Directory and any e-mail notifications from the Department of Taxation or Attorney General before you stamp cigarettes or pay the tax on RYO tobacco. Three (3) asterisks *** means that the manufacturer and its brand family or families are listed in the Directory, pending completion of administrative review by the Attorney General. Please note that tobacco products commonly known as “little cigars” currently are not required to be listed in this Directory in order to be lawfully sold in Nevada.
