My reason for asking is because I learnt of something called auto-tritration as users will smoke for the desired effect. Filters are designed to remove the tar but in doing also filter out the nicotine. So I suppose the question is, do filtered ciggerettes remove more tar than nicotine and by what percentage? If the ratio is excatly the same then filters would have no benefit to users who wished to decrease tar intake according to auto-tritration.

Without actual numbers, I would say that the effects you mention are the big players but there is also one other thing: The appearance of being safer. Filters don't actually remove all that much crap from cig smoke, but they do work to a certain extent. You could try looking on one of the tobacco companies' websites or even government agencies dealing with human health services. I hope you find the hard answer you are looking for.

Cigarettes have no benefits for most people.
If you want to cut down on tar, the best way is to smoke fewer cigarettes. If you want to cut down on tar yet get some nicotine, smoke fewer cigarettes and use the patch.

maybe Nicotine makes it thru but THC is a bigger molecule than that but weed is allot cleaner burning so you don't need a filter but if you wana fool your friends that is an interesting idea you could just like poke a hole thru the length of the filter to make sure you dont lose any THC
