What Causes Cough After Smoking Menthol Cigarettes?

I started smoking menthol cigarettes about 6 months ago from a regular light cigarette and am wondering if that is why I am having perisitant coughing that I did not have prior? We are not sure if it's allergies, but xray has shown my chest is fine, cultures are not coming up with anything so I am trying to delete things to figure out why this is happening.
