The plastic filters are quite effective and easily last 10 to 15 Silk Cuts but after 4 or 5 roll-ups they are a disgusting mess, all 600 poisons collected in thick brown goo. I wonder how I've survived so long! If you can smoke neat Golden Virginia your lungs are tougher than mine.

I use filters and a 6" cigarette holder - tar is cleaned from the holder regularly.
I have found I smoke far less than when I used to when I smoked factory made cigs. It took me a year to lose the craving for whatever addictive junk was added to factory made cigs.
Lately I have been adding the herb Mullein
Herbal Smoking Mixtures
"Mullein is a fine medicinal for the lungs, even when you smoke it. It soothes inflamed or infected lungs, and prevents coughing until infection or inflammation is broken. Then it aids in expectoration, helping to break up congestion and promote "effective" coughing. It was smoked to stop the coughing of tuberculosis years ago. It is wonderful for any kind of lung cleansing. Very gentle and non-toxic, you can use it anytime."
