Lower Successful Quit Rate of Menthol Tobacco Users in a Tobacco Cessation Program: An Explanatory Analysis in Search of Potential Mechanisms

The consistent findings across different intervention types highlight the need for further research to uncover the underlying pathways and to design targeted strategies to improve cessation outcomes for menthol users.
