MasterCard, Visa and American Express are promoting contactless versions of their credit cards, which only need to be held near a special reader at the checkout counter for a sale to go through, making the standard card swiper no longer necessary.
Filters in a new and used cigarette. Cigarette filters are an essential non-tobacco part of a filter cigarette, and have a profound effect on the yield and composition of cigarette smoke. The filter may be made from cellulose acetate fibre, paper or activated charcoal.
A cigarette is a small cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves rolled in thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder; its smoke is inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth; in some cases, a cigarette holder may be used, as well.
