The Tarminator is perfect for demonstrations in which using an actual cigarette is impractical or not

mixture is then pumped through the unit, staining The Tarminator's filter a dull brown. This shows
how lung tissue absorbs the tiny particles in cigarette smoke. After the demonstration, the stained
filter can be passed around for closer examination.
