Cigarette filters are convicted of increasing lung cancer

Statistics show that the rate of use of filter cigarettes increased in parallel with the increase in lung cancer.

Until now, people still think that filters are effective at filtering down harmful substances of tobacco into the body. But according to the Healthday issue of Sept. 6, US scientists believe that the emergence of 1950s cigarette filters led to an increase in cases of lung cancer to this day, causing them to ' Ask questions ' for filters.

According to the research team, in the early 50s of the last century, only 1% of filter cigarettes were used. This rate reached 64% in 1964, to 95% in 1986 and 97% this year. The worrying thing is that this increase also goes hand in hand with the number of lung cancer cases. In 1950, the disease accounted for only 5% of cancer cases, but since the 1960s, there has been a sudden increase, accounting for 62%.

From the above figures, the scientists confirmed a link between the use of filters in tobacco and lung cancer outbreaks. According to them, the filter causes smokers to inhale deeper and larger breaths, so more toxins enter the lungs.
