the stuff going into the mouth goes through the filter. The stuff coming out of the mouth is filtered by the filter and by the smoker's lungs. However, if you watch a person smoking, you'll see that a bunch of smoke comes off the tip of the cigarette while it's being held in the hand. I hadn't really thought about it until I was QAing the data for this database, but yeah, it's true, not all smoke goes through the filter. It only comes into play when the smoker takes a drag. And by the way I smoked the entire time I worked on that project, just to show that I am an idiot too at times...
