Answer Details
The filter in a cigarette reduces the amount of nicotine that a person inhales through a process called absorption. As the smoke passes through the filter, the chemicals in the filter attract and trap some of the nicotine particles. This results in a lower nicotine content in the smoke that reaches the smoker's lungs. The other options listed, burning, adsorption, and evaporation, do not directly contribute to the reduction of nicotine content in the smoke.
