Kent cigarettes too had to make amends according to the changing public mood. In the year 1952 a series of articles were published in the Reader's Digest captioned "Cancer by the Carton", this scared American consumers into seeking out a filter brand at a time when most brands were sold without filter. So in 1952, Kent introduced their first filter variant called Kent Micronite. From 1952 to 1956, the filters in Kent Micronite contained carcinogenic blue asbestos, later it was changed to charcoal filters which is a form of activated carbon.
