Does anyone know if this is a target to get people to volunteer the giving up of tobacco or do they actually plan to legislate the...- Highlandpiper

Savanelli 6mm filter question.
I bought a new Savanelli arcobaleno yesterday and absolutely love it. However my question arises from the salesperson being very adamant that only the 6mm balsa filter should be used. I prefer charcoal filters and I am wondering are these interchangeable despite what the shop told me.- Highlandpiper
