Roll up filters...

[divine`]

Are they designed to go an odd colour on puporse?


As a little experiment to myself when out the other night, I nabbed a filter off a mate and while half the people at the table lit up, I poked the filter in my mouth and breathed through it. This wasn't the easiest thing in the world but y'know

After about 5 minutes or so of breathing through it, it had gone a horrible nasty yellow/brown colour, now I know this is meant to happen but I was slightly concerned that it was discoloured so much just by 'passive' smoking.

So I was wondering if they perhaps are designed to change colour more than they really would to give the impression they are filtering crap out better?

...if you see what I mean.

Its the tar and nicotine in the air getting caught in the fibers of the filter.

I know this, i'm not stupid.

The question was whether perhaps anything was put in them to cause 'extra' discolouration to give the impression they are filtering more than they are because I really didn't think there would be THAT much crap just floating about in the air.

Were you in a room where people were smoking?

Was in a pub

That's really quite horrible when I think about it.

I knew passive smoking was never going to do me any good but I honestly never expected there to be that much crap.

Run my experiement Seriously, I want to know how it comes out.

What, breathing with a filter in a non smoky environment?

It stays white, i've done that before
