Cigarette filters are small, cylindrical components designed to fit onto the end of a cigarette, providing a smoother and potentially less harmful smoking experience. Typically made from cellulose acetate fibers or activated charcoal, they work by trapping a portion of the tar, nicotine, and other chemicals present in cigarette smoke, reducing the amount inhaled. Available in various sizes and designs, some filters are even flavored to enhance the taste of the cigarette. There are also reusable filters that can be attached to the cigarette, offering an eco-friendly option. While they do not eliminate the risks associated with smoking, cigarette filters can make the experience more enjoyable and slightly less harsh on the throat and lungs.
