Do You Think Filter In The Cigarette Can Make It Really Less Harmful?

[A K Rao]

Cigarettes come with a filter and they claim that these filters can filter many unwanted or harmful gases before the smoke reaches the lung! Do you really think that these filters can make a cigarette less harmful? Please give your opinion about it! Thanks !

It is a debatable question if the filtered cigarettes are less dangerous. The best option before us is to refrain from smoking as it results in lung cancer.

Yes it does make it less harmful for the users of the cigarette, but still it is HARMFUL since nicotine can still reach the blood vessels and the lungs although it is less concentrated. Furthermore the filter doesn't protect the indirect smoker or the non smokers who happen to be in the same room with a smoker. So that's why smoking is more harmful to those who don't smoke because the gas goes directly inside their bodies without even being filtered first. So this is rather unfair on there part. So I hope next time someone smoke they think of others around them and they should smoke alone.

Maybe it makes the cigarette less harmful for users who use them but like flapiz said it is still harmful since the user suck the nicotine.
