The Lie About Cigarette Filters
Cigarette filters were first introduced in the 1950s when smoking-related cancers became undeniable. They were marketed as making ci******es "safer," but the real effect was marketing and false consumer reassurance.
Cigarette filters are not made of cotton. They are made of PLASTIC. They do not make smoking any safer. They only make the smoke feel smoother so people inhale deeper, pushing toxins and microplastics further into the lungs.
That is why, after filters became common, the most common lung cancer shifted from the mouth & upper airways to deep inside the lung.
Filters also break down into microplastics that get inhaled deep into your lungs, and the 5 trillion butts litter our planet. Today there are about 28 million smokers in the U.S. and more than 1.1 billion worldwide, and nearly all of them have been fooled into believing that filters make smoking “safer.”
The truth is very simple. Filters offer NO protection at all. They are a marketing gimmick. The only way to reduce the danger is to STOP SMOKING.
