Kent Cigarettes

Kent Cigarettes are well known for being a quality filter cigarette. Why do people prefer filter cigarettes? What makes filter cigarettes special? And how is the Kent brand of cigarettes different from others in this regard? First, filter cigarettes started receiving more attention during the early 1950's. It is because in 1952 a series of articles were published in the Reader's Digest captioned "Cancer by the Carton", this scared American consumer into seeking out a filter brand at a time when most brands were sold without a filter. Two, experts say that the filter inside each cigarette absorbs the harmful smoke, dust and other harmful particles which would otherwise be inhaled while smoking a cigarette. Three, in 1952, Kent introduced their first filter variant called Kent Micronite. From 1952 to 1956, the filters in Kent Micronite contained carcinogenic blue asbestos, which was not so healthy, later it was changed to charcoal filters which is a form of activated carbon. This filter is environmentally friendly and healthier than other filters. Another unique selling point of this brand is that it's additive free.

Kent brand of cigarettes is made by British American Tobacco, which is the world's second largest cigarette company. This brand is distributed to more than 50 countries and is well received in the United States and some European countries. Statistics from a survey shows that 84% of people who were surveyed preferred Kent as their primary brand while 10% smoked Kent as their second choice cigarette brand.

If you are a regular Kent smoker but for a change want to smoke a different variant of this brand, then you have a wide range of options to choose from. You can pick Kent Lights, Kent Full Flavored, Kent Select Lights, Kent Premium Lights, Kent Super Lights, Kent Selects, Kent Slims, Kent Super Slims and many more varieties.

Each piece of cigarette has two parts, one with charcoal and the other with cellulose which has a tiny capsule. The capsule has a liquid that changes the taste of the cigarette. This is a special cigarette; you can say it is a two in one cigarette. There are two different flavors in a single product.
