I've been smoking menthol ciggertes for the last 2 years and all of a sudden I will feel my throat get sore right behind my uvula, I can touch the spot where it hurts. I've had this happen before a few weeks ago and it went away,also my sinuses have been stuffed up ever since I started smoking I can't breathe out of my nose, could that be why my throat is so sore?
HI, THANX FOR YOUR QUERY. SMOKING MENTHOL IS REALLY DANGEROUS ,THIS IS BECAUSE IT HAS MORE ADDICTIVE EFFECTS THAN TOBACCO.THE CONDITIONS YOU HAVE MENTIONED ARE MAINLY BECAUSE OF MENTHOL SMOKING.IN GENERAL MENTHOL SMOKERS SHOW NICOTINE DEPENDENCE AND IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO QUIT SMOKING. HENCE ITS BETTER FOR YOU TO QUIT SMOKING GRADUALLY.HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.
