Menthol increases your mouth’s sensitivity to coldness. The air you breathe in is generally cooler than your mouth, so the air moving by as you breathe is much more noticeable.
It may be some or other thing with your nose. For instance runny nose after eating spicy food is a known atypical reaction and happens a lot with people with deformed nose wall
why does it feel like i can breath better while chewing very minty gum? i mean i assume it’s just an illusion but i’ve always wondered
