filter tips

Smoker's mouthpiece attachments

Filter tips are the small cylindrical attachments on cigarettes that trap tar and particulates before smoke reaches the mouth.

The term can refer to the filters themselves or to cigarettes that have them: She only smokes filter tips.

In a different context, filter tips are small cardboard or glass pieces rolled into the end of hand-rolled cigarettes or joints to prevent material from being inhaled.
