This study was conducted to compare the mutagenicity of mainstream whole-smoke and wet total particulate matter from two sets of experimental cigarettes to determine if menthol has an effect on this endpoint. All cigarettes were smoked under ISO on a VITROCELL® VC10 smoking robot. TA98 and TA100 were exposed in the VITROCELL® Ames exposure modules.
