Short story

Tobacco has been known to mankind since ancient times. But then it grew only in South and North America. In the 16th century, the countries of Europe met him. It has been chewed, sniffed, used as a remedy for migraines and, of course, smoked. In the first half of the 17th century, the first enterprise appeared that produced cigars, and a little later, cigarettes from cigar production waste. As you can see, the history of tobacco smoking is very stretched in time. At the same time, filters appeared relatively recently - only in 1935 in England. In Russia (more precisely, in the USSR), the first filtered cigarettes appeared a little later - in 1966. Filters were originally designed to keep tobacco out of the mouth when smoking. It was of the simplest design and was made of paper. If desired, the smoker himself inserted it into a cigarette. Since then, tobacco production technologies have stepped far forward, but the standards and requirements for tobacco products and filters have also become stricter. They now detain not only tobacco, but also harmful substances in the smoke. Currently, Russian tobacco products use acetate, carbon and filter mouthpieces.

In today's ranking of the cheapest filter cigarettes, we divided tobacco products into 3 categories: strong, with capsules and thin (ladies'). The first category included products with high strength. The content of nicotine in them is not less than 0.7 mg and resin is not less than 8 mg. They are the simplest, if you can call them that. They have regular acetate filters, standard size.

The second category in our ranking is products with capsules. They are quite in demand at the present time, especially among the younger generation.Thanks to the flavored additive, they allow you to satisfy the body's nicotine needs and at the same time surround yourself with pleasant aromas. Most often they are lighter. They can be either a standard king size or thinner ones. Among them there are products with both a conventional filter and an improved one.

In the third category, thin cigarettes were singled out as representatives of tobacco products targeted at the beautiful half of humanity. They come in different strengths with a nicotine content of 0.1 to 0.5 mg, with and without flavoring additives.
