Beginner's Guide to Cigarette Filters: Everything You Need to Know

If you're new to external cigarette filters, this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything from choosing the right filter to getting the most out of your TS Teer STOP experience.

What Are External Cigarette Filters?

External cigarette filters (also called add-on filters or cigarette holders) are small filters that attach to the end of your cigarette. Unlike the built-in filter that comes with every cigarette, an add-on filter is an extra piece the smoke passes through before it reaches your mouth. TS Teer STOP has a two-stage filter design intended to trap tar residue, which you can see in the used filter.

How to Use TS Teer STOP: Step by Step

1. Choose your size: TS Teer STOP comes in Regular (8mm) and Slim (5-6mm) sizes. Regular fits most standard cigarettes, Slim fits slim and super-slim cigarettes.
2. Insert the cigarette: Simply push the cigarette into the filter opening. It should fit snugly.
3. Smoke normally: There's no change in your smoking routine — and no need to draw harder.
4. Check the filter: After use, you can see the brown tar residue collected in the filter.
5. Replace: Each TS Teer STOP filter is meant for 4-6 cigarettes. After that, use a new one.
