2-Stage Cigarette Filter Technology: What TS Teer STOP Is Designed to Do

TS Teer STOP is an add-on cigarette filter with a two-stage filter design, intended to trap tar residue before the smoke reaches your mouth. This overview is based on the manufacturer's description: what each stage is for, what you can see after use, and how to use the filter.

Stage 1: The First Filter Stage

When you draw on the cigarette, the smoke first passes the first stage of the filter. This is where tar residue is meant to collect — the brown deposit you can see in a used filter. We don't make claims about the specific materials of this stage.

Stage 2: The Second Filter Stage

The smoke then passes a second stage before it reaches your mouth. "Two-stage" describes how the filter is built: two filter stages in sequence. It is a description of the construction, not a measured result.

What You Can See: Residue in the Used Filter

After 4–6 cigarettes you will see brown residue in the TS Teer STOP filter. It is tar from the smoke that has collected in the filter. It shows that residue is held back — not how much tar still reaches your lungs.

Why We Don't State a Percentage

We have no measurement data that would support a tar reduction percentage for TS Teer STOP, so we don't give one. And no filter makes smoking safe: smoking causes serious harm with or without a filter, and quitting is the most effective way to reduce it.
