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.
It is not know what company was the first to produce cigarettes with filters, however it is well-known that first filter appeared in Europe. At those times cigarette filters didnât find a lodgement in the tobacco industry, as there were no such equipments able to combine filter with cigarette. Only in 1935 English scientists created such a machine, which made filter production a profitable business.
