Acetate Filter Cigarettes

Acetate filter cigarettes are standard cigarettes that use filters made from cellulose acetate, a type of plastic fiber, to reduce some of the harmful particles inhaled during smoking. The filter is designed to trap tar and other chemicals, making smoking feel smoother and less harsh. However, it doesn't eliminate health risks entirely, as many harmful substances still pass through. These filters became popular in the mid-20th century and are commonly used in commercial cigarette brands. While they may lessen some irritation, smoking any cigarette still poses significant health dangers.
