A King Size pack of Kent cigarettes in its cellophane wrapper, with a gold crest above the name and a banner reading "New Exclusive Micronite Filter." The pack has been opened at the top, and a piece of its foil inner liner lies beside it. Kent's Micronite filter, introduced in 1952, used crocidolite asbestos in its early years.

- Pack makes no asbestos claim; Kent Micronite filters made from 1952 to about 1956 contained crocidolite. This pack is undated and not tested, so it may hold a later, asbestos-free filter.
