This is brilliant marketing by the tobacco industry. Convince people that it is healthier to smoke their pipe tobacco through cigarette tobacco. There really should be some way to fit a cigar in here too.
Filter Pipe Is Smoked Through a Cigarette
More than eighty percent of the nicotine in tobacco smoke is said to be removed by a filter pipe recently announced. Smoke drawn from the pipe bowl to the mouthpiece passes through two halves of a cigarette, which act as filters to absorb most of the nicotine.

Why remove the nicotine? What about the tar? Mind you, if their claim is right, you then end up with a super nicotine cigarette for severe crises. Think of the head rush..

Isn’t the nicotine what cigarette smokers crave? How would removing the nicotine do anything for the smoker? It’d probably be a better idea to either smoke normally or just quit smoking altogether.
