Hi I am researching a play set in 1939 in Britain, I was just wondering if filter cigarettes were widely available then and I also was wondering if they were what colur was it. As there is a smoking ban in Ireland we can only use herbal cigarettes, so i need to know if i can use white filters or orange filters or if i sould just cut them off to suit the period, Any help at all would be really appreciated, Thank you in advance.
I was wondering:

Steady Burning...
I am trying, out of sheer curiosity, to find out how commercial cigarette makers get cigarettes to burn continuously even when not being drawn upon. If anyone could enlighten me I would be grateful.
Answer: The cigarette papers, if you look closely seem to be 'striped' they are infact made of thick, thin, thick, thin pieces of paper, and the thick bits burn very slowly, so it burns evenly. This is how I believe it works, however, I'm not sure.
Where's L&M ?
I can't believe there isn't an article about this hugely popular brand! (At least in Europe it's popular; in fact, I believe - though I am no expert - that among Philip Morris' brands only Marlboro outsales L&M.)
There was even no internal link within the Philip Morris' page until I added it, just now.
Why is that?
