Experts found that cigarettes were invented in the 1950s and that these products were widely used. Years later, it was understood that filters did not practically affect the composition of cigarette smoke and did not reduce the damage caused by smoking and sometimes even improved.
The article of the scientists published in the conversation says that filters create security illusion, because previous cigarettes, which the filter cigarettes looked smoother and without filters, were considered stronger and painful.
Experts also said that filters pollute nature, because they are made of ineffective plastic. Filters make cellulose from acetate – a type of plastic that does not disappear on its own and does not turn into a germ.
Scientists believe that the ban on filters will not solve the problem of cigarette or pollution immediately with plastic, but this will be an important step to solve them.
