Are filtered cigarettes less dangerous than unfiltered cigarettes?
Cigarettes filters were first developed in the 1950s as an alternative to what had previously been the sole form for these products to be presented in, that of unfiltered cigarettes, as a way to convince people not to quit smoking for good. While cigarettes filters are more healthy than unfiltered cigarettes, however, in the long term they will still pose a comparable health risk, particularly due to underlying nicotine dependencies.
