BPA and Cigarette Filter Materials: What to Look For
A cigarette filter attachment touches your lips, so some smokers ask what it is made of — and whether it contains BPA. This short page explains what BPA is and what we can and can't tell you about Teerless.
Contents
What is BPA?
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used mainly to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It can act like a hormone in the body, which is why some people want to know whether the plastics they use contain it.
Why people ask about it
A filter attachment sits between your lips while you smoke, so it is reasonable to ask what it is made of. Keep the proportions in mind, though: the smoke itself is far more harmful than any filter material, and no filter makes smoking safe.
How to check a material claim
Statements such as "BPA-free" or "food-grade" come from the seller. If they matter to you, ask the seller which plastic the product is made of and whether there is documentation behind the statement.
