Abstract (en)
A filter cigarette (1) comprises a rod (2) of smokable material and a mouth piece (3) attached to the rod (2), the mouth piece (3) comprising an element rotatable with respect to the rest of the filter cigarette about the longitudinal axis thereof such that a user can vary the ventilation of the filter cigarette and a fixed element that is fixed relative to the rod. There is also a strength indicator comprising a scale extending at least circumferentially about at least one of the periphery of the rotatable element or a part of the cigarette that is fixed relative to the rod of smokable material, and a cursor element on the other of the periphery of the rotatable element or a part of the cigarette that is fixed relative to the rod of smokable material, wherein the scale comprises central symmetry about a point and the cursor is longitudinally aligned with the point of symmetry of the scale when the scale is arranged in a position representing a minimum level of strength of the cigarette.
