“This survey study of 7067 youth smokers found that the menthol cigarette ban in England was associated with a significant reduction in the prevalence of menthol cigarette smoking, from 12.1% to 3.0%. Menthol cigarette smoking remained stable in the 2 comparison countries, Canada (3.1%-2.3%) and the US (33.6%-36.9%), and the association was consistent across all demographic groups.”
