Parliament (cigarette)

Parliament is a brand of cigarettes marketed by the company Philip Morris. The brand was introduced in 1931 and is distinctive for its recessed paper filters.[1] In the 1940s and '50s, the brand was marketed for its unique filters, with advertisements reading, "Only the flavor touches your lips", and "Tobacco tastes best when the filter's recessed".[2] The brand also claimed that the recessed filter prevented tar from making contact with the smoker's mouth, unlike standard filters.[3] The Parliament brand holds a strong market position in Saudi Arabia, Japan, Argentina, Israel, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Montenegro, Ukraine and the United States.
