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 additional filtration devices that attach to the end of your cigarette. Unlike the built-in filter that comes with every cigarette, external filters provide a second line of defense against tar, nicotine, and other harmful chemicals.

How to Use TS Teer STOP: Step by Step

1. Choose your size: TS Teer STOP comes in Regular (8mm) and Slim (5-7mm) 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. The filter works silently in the background.
4. Check the filter: After 1-2 cigarettes, you'll already see brown tar residue trapped in the filter.
5. Replace: Each TS Teer STOP filter lasts 4-6 cigarettes. When the flow becomes restricted, it's time for a new one.
