Activated charcoal is not carcinogenic, and commonly used in air and water filters.
Charcoal tablets (which is 98% charcoal and some binding agent) is also a common remedy for (traveler’s) diarrhea, and perfectly safe for consumption. You can get it in any pharmacy over the counter.

Kent cigarettes had a “Micronite” filter which was made of paper and asbestos.

Charcoal is fine. You can savely eat it and smoking is is probably healthier that tobacco.
I’m pretty sure I don’t want to risk having pure carbon inserted into my body just in case.
Yes, I know plants and animals are carbon based organisms.
Also, if you mistook a “charcoal” briquette for regular all-natural charcoal, you’d be ingesting a portion of pure Borax and limestone.
A fun little tidbit I learned the other day!
Living in Canada, I couldn’t wait for the day to try Tareyton cigs, just for the fight.
Could be worse. Kent cigs used asbestos filters.
