In 2009, the Government of Canada prohibited the addition of flavours to cigarettes as a measure to reduce the use of cigarettes by youth. At the time this prohibition did not include menthol, a flavour known to impart cooling and analgesic properties to cigarette smoke. Recently, the sale of flavoured tobacco has been prohibited in provinces such as Alberta, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick and the Government of Canada has published a regulatory amendment to remove menthol from its list of permitted ingredients as of October 2, 2017. Currently, menthol cigarettes represent 4.7 % of total cigarette sales in 2014. The objective of this study was to examine the menthol content and emissions from menthol cigarettes and compare this to new “green” branded cigarettes, introduced in the Alberta market after prohibition of flavourings in tobacco. Menthol content averaged 2.8 +/- 1.2 mg/g tobacco while menthol emissions averaged 0.38 +/- 0.16 and 1.1 +/- 0.30 mg/cigarette for ISO and Health Canada emissions protocols respectively. “Green” branded cigarettes had below LOD and LOQ levels of menthol in tobacco and emissions measurements. Nicotine and tar composition in tobacco and emissions varied across all brands but were comparable to previously analyzed non-menthol cigarettes.
