cigarette filter

Tobacco tube tip

A cigarette filter is the spongy tip at the end of a cigarette, designed to trap some tar and particles from the smoke before inhalation.

Filters are typically made of cellulose acetate fibers.

While marketed as reducing health risks, evidence suggests they provide minimal protection and may encourage deeper inhalation.
