WhatthePatent

Name your poison with this little number – clogged arteries and/or lung cancer. The “cheese-filter cigarette” comes courtesy of Stuart M. Stebbings … from Wisconsin (natch!). Patent No. 3,234,948, issued Feb. 15, 1996, reads in part: “… it is preferred to use a hard cheese as exemplified by Parmesan, Romano or Swiss cheese. But “aged cheddars and other ‘hard’ cheeses may also be used.“
