Although Marlboro was taken off the market after the end of World War II due to declining sales, the brand returned with a bang in the 1950's, when the company started making this brand with filters. The main reason why many brands introduced filter cigarettes during 1950's is that, a medical report titled "Cancer in Cartons" was released during this period. Filtered cigarettes were considered a safer alternative to the unfiltered ones. This is the most sought after brand in the world; they are distributed to numerous countries and can be purchased from online cigarette selling web sites too.
