When were cigarette filters invented?

There have been cigarettes with filters almost as long as there have been cigarettes. In 1883 or 1884, Dr. Scott's Electric Cigarettes may have been the first. They had a recessed filter on one end, and a match head on the other. So, you could strike one end and light the cigarette. It was not called a filter, it was called a 'no nicotine mouthpiece.' In fact, this is what filter cigarettes were primarily called until the 1940s. Until the late 1920s, filter cigarettes had to be rolled by hand, no machine had been invented to manufacture them. So, they were rare and expensive. In Britain, where more companies rolled their cigarettes by hand, filtered versions were more common, beginning c1900. The first machine made filter was duMaurier, which went on sale in Britain in 1929. They were also sold in Canada. In the US, Parliament was offered in filtered form (no nicotine mouthpiece) beginning in 1932.
