Usage Questions

Q1: How do I use a TS Teer STOP filter?

Simply insert your cigarette into the TS Teer STOP filter tip before smoking. The flat end goes against your lips, the other end receives the cigarette. No modification to your cigarette required.

Q2: How often should I replace my filter?

Replace when the filter turns completely dark brown or black throughout. TS Teer STOP filters are designed for up to 6 uses — but with heavier cigarettes or deeper inhalation, this may be 3–4 uses.

Q3: Does TS Teer STOP fit all cigarette brands?

Yes — the standard size fits all regular (king size) cigarettes including Marlboro, Lucky Strike, L&M, Camel, and all German brands. Use the Slim variant for slim/100s cigarettes.

Q4: Can I clean and reuse a filter?

No — do not wash filters. Washing damages the activated carbon layer and can introduce moisture that promotes mould. Simply discard when saturated.

Q5: Does the filter change the taste?

Slightly. The activated carbon layer removes some volatile compounds that contribute to aroma. Most users report a slightly cleaner, smoother taste. Blind taste tests scored TS Teer STOP 9.1/10.

Health Questions

Q6: How much tar does TS Teer STOP remove?

Lab tests using ISO 3308 protocol show up to 70% tar removal versus smoking without an add-on filter.

Q7: Does it reduce nicotine too?

Yes — approximately 30% nicotine reduction. This is lower than tar reduction because nicotine is gaseous and harder to capture than particulate tar.

Q8: Is TS Teer STOP safe? Is it BPA-free?

Yes. All materials are BPA-free and food-grade. The activated carbon is pharmaceutical-grade (the same used in water filters). No chemicals are added to the smoke stream.

Q9: Can a cigarette filter prevent lung cancer?

No. While reducing tar intake lowers certain health risks, no cigarette filter eliminates all harmful substances in smoke. Quitting smoking remains the only guaranteed way to eliminate tobacco-related cancer risk.
