Kent Micronite filters contained blue crocidolite asbestos. Of the 6 known types of asbestos, crocudolite is the most toxic/harmful.
One study revealed smoking a pack of Kent Micronite cigarettes every day for a year would expose a smoker to 131 million carcinogenic crocidolite fibers.
A 1989 study of 33 people who worked in the Hollingsworth & Vose filter factory in 1953 found 28 of them died from asbestos-related diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

I'm surprised they didn't also coat it in radium to make it easier to find in the dark

That's just pure evil

That shit probably tastes fire af, as smokers our rights have been infringed once again...

All those little abrasions in the lungs allowing the nicotine to get into the blood stream even faster, these guys were living in 2952
-
Actually asbestos is non flammable thus it literally cannot be "fire af". Tis a sad day

"Yo I was demoing this old speakeasy and I found a pack of smokes in a walled up room u Wana try one?"

(actually speakeasies referred to illegal bars during prohibition from 1920-33, while the cigarettes came out in 1952 🤓 (unless it continued to be used as a slang term in the 50s))
-
They continued to operate as bars once bars were legal but often had major renovations since they no longer had to be hidden. A few friends of mine lived in one. Only house I've ever been in that had a larger basement than the house.

Technically speakeasies are still a thing, but afaik they're more modern "underground" bars rather than literally prohibition-era speakeasies
