Kent cigarettes is a brand of first to introduce smoke filters in 1952. At the period from March 1952 until at least May 1956, the Micronite filter in Kent cigarettes had a form of asbestos. At Present Kent uses charcoal filters (a kind of activated carbon).

During the first Beatles’ visit to the United States they occasionally took part in the expressing of their interest in Kent cigarettes. An announcer of a commercial Radio convinced the auditorium that Kent cigarettes are filtered ones which really satisfy, the smoker enjoys them and present the better emotions than anything else for the day, their Micronite filter is an exclusive one. Paul McCartney and John Lennon, being in the same studio, supported him.

There are thousands of cigarettes in the world, premium and generic, purchasing retailed or wholesaled, yet not even two those are alike. At the same time in this diversity there are some brands of cigarettes of the highest quality, embodying full palette of tobacco flavor –and such cigs make up Kent cigarettes’ collection- Kent HD Futura (Futura 8) (with nicotine content 0.8mg), Kent HD Neo (Neo 4) (0.4 mg) and Kent HD Infinia (Infinia 1) (0.1 mg)
