I am a 2 pack per day smoker. I have also been using these filters for over 5 years now so I guess I am qualified to answer this question.
The Arista Scientific Study that was performed on this product was pretty well documented and conducted under very scientific conditions. They are no slouches and protect their reputation pretty closely.
There appears to be an inverse relationship to the strength of the cigarette and the percentage of tar and nicotine that is removed. With Marlboro Red, a higher percentage of Tar and Nicotine is removed than in a Marlborough light. I would imagine a non filtered Picayune would produce incredible results.
I am a light cigarette smoker so do I think these filters are removing 90% of the tar and nicotine in my cigarettes? Probably not. Does it remove a lot? Absolutely YES!
In fact, for me, it works so well that I can not smoke a cigarette without one. On the rare occasion when I do, I find myself coughing much more than when I do use them.
When I see the amount of tar and nicotine that is being trapped and thrown into the trash, rather than going into my lungs, without affecting the flavor of my cigarettes, I don't ask if it 70,80,90%, I just know that as smoker, I am reducing the risks associated with smoking.
They will still probably kill me but I love to smoke. I not only can't quit, I don't want to quit. Cigarettes have become terribly expensive but I still smoke. They are bad for my health but I still smoke. My health insurance is significantly higher than a non smoker but I still smoke......but I use plastic filters to reduce the amount of tar and nicotine that enters my lungs but I still get the full flavor taste of my favorite cigarette.
