Why people try to avoid menthol cigrette I was taking a smoking break during working, and a homeless guy asked me if I could give him one. I took my pack outta of pocket, and as soon as he saw the pack (I smoke Marlboro ICE) he says nah and walked away. This is not the first time this happened to me. I am just curious why would people do that?

P.S. I live in California if that'd help.
