Why does a cigarette filter have this pattern?

So that people remember this sector and because people are used to the smell of tobacco and everything else, then everything will be clear and people will start smoking

In the first half of the 20th century, cigarettes with a hollow paper mouthpiece were produced, which served to prevent tobacco particles from falling into the mouth.

Later they began to produce cigarettes with natural cork mouthpieces so that the tip of the cigarette does not stick to the lips. Still later, cigarettes with a filter “wrapped” in a special edging paper appeared, which had the same consumer qualities as a cork. But the paper did not last long: it stuck unpleasantly to the lips, and sometimes even tore off pieces of skin from them. To prevent the army of smokers from becoming smaller because of such an absurdity, but on the contrary - growing by leaps and bounds, the manufacturers had to replace the top paper layer of the filters with cork. Over time, humanity, that is, cigarettes, had a carbon filter. They began to wrap it with special paper that imitated the texture of the cork. It was a marketing ploy to make cigarettes look like themselves. As a result, the cork remained in the history of cigarette production, and its color remained.
