My favorite podcast, Stuff You Should Know, just did an episode on the invention and history of cigarettes, though they didn't mention this little innovation.

Did they mention the fact that filters include chemicals to make them turn brown in the presence of nicotine smoke? The idea is to create the impression that they're actually capturing lots of noxious goo, when in reality they do virtually nothing as far as negative health effects are concerned.

What in the conspiracy theory?!

Take a drag. Blow the smoke through a tissue. Report back.

Tell me how your lungs felt smoking filterless vs. filtered. Or shall I start?
