I'm not a regular smoker, but I used to buy some menthols when I had a bad chest cold and it would make me hack up all that chit in my chest and PRESTO, cold was gone the next day. It got rid of bronchitis with menthols once, too. Not exactly doctor's recommendations, kinda just happened to bum a few menthols one night and figured it out. I know smokers that switch to menthols when they get a chest cold, too. You guys are probably going to tell me I'm full of it, but I've done it for years with success.

Whenever I smoke them it makes my chest burn and gives me a headache, I don't know what's in them but it can't be good.

Naw, Brendon's right. I smoked for 15 years or so and it was always menthol, usually Kool. When you have bronchial problems and a Dr. asks if you smoke, he usually wants you to switch to menthols for the time being. Of course this was years ago. Now, of course, they say QUIT! (usually with a pack of smokes clearly visible under their lab coat.
