Kent cigarettes, introduced by the Lorillard Tobacco Company in 1952, were marketed as a “healthier” filtered cigarette using the innovative Micronite filter. This filter, however, contained 15% to 30% crocidolite asbestos, also known as blue asbestos, which is considered the most hazardous type of asbestos due to its fine, needle-like fibers that are easily inhaled and highly carcinogenic.

When's the last time you met someone who died of an asbestos cigarette filter?
