Abstract

A cigarette filter placed at one end of a cigarette has a filter body which filters the tobacco smoke when the cigarette is smoked, and a filter wrapper which surrounds the filter body. The filter wrapper comprises one or more paper material layers with seeds embedded throughout the filter wrapper or adhered to one or more of the wrapper layers. When the filter is discarded after the cigarette is consumed, the seeds germinate and grow, causing the filter wrapper to break apart and release the filter body within, accelerating degradation of the filter and producing plants which disguise any remaining parts of the discarded filter.
