        Da es in dem verlinkten Artikel etwas vergraben ist;

        Die zweite Hälfte des Abstracts der Studie:

        Filter ventilation was adopted in the mid-1960s and was initially equated with making a cigarette safer. Since then, lung adenocarcinoma rates paradoxically increased relative to other lung cancer subtypes. Filter ventilation 1) alters tobacco combustion, increasing smoke toxicants; 2) allows for elasticity of use so that smokers inhale more smoke to maintain their nicotine intake; and 3) causes a false perception of lower health risk from “lighter” smoke. Seemingly not supportive of a causal relationship is that human exposure biomarker studies indicate no reduction in exposure, but these do not measure exposure in the lung or utilize known biomarkers of harm. Altered puffing and inhalation may make smoke available to lung cells prone to adenocarcinomas. The analysis strongly suggests that filter ventilation has contributed to the rise in lung adenocarcinomas among smokers. Thus, the FDA should consider regulating its use, up to and including a ban. Herein, we propose a research agenda to support such an effort.

          Wobei sich die Studie ja auf “Filter Ventilation” bezieht, also die kleinen Löcher im Filter, die dem inhalierten Rauch mehr Luft hinzufügen …

          Nicht das das Selbstgedrehte mit dichtem Papier jetzt besser macht, oder Zigaretten allgemein.

          Finde es aber interessant, das eine scheinbar kleine Änderung im Design da tatsächlich einen Effekt zeigt.
