From wikipedia:
"Paper is a thin sheet material produced by mechanically or chemically processing cellulose fibres derived from wood, rags, grasses"
As far as I understand we burn paper (which is mostly cellulose) with tobacco. With the tobacco smoke you inhale some paper smoke. The smoke is passing through the filter (which is mostly cellulose).
I can imagine that the smoke from the burned paper may be harmful.
The smoke passing through the filter must be much less harmful, IMO.
I think it is a stretch to say that cellulose is a plastic as cellulose is derived from primarily wood materials. By further extraction of cellulose one can make plastics just as one can with oil.
If one has a problem with the paper or filters being made of cellulose or sensitive to it, then one option is to smoke a pipe or cigars and cigarillos.
Commercial paper, yes. This goes back to 2009 (studied back in the 80's), and thus the use of fire retardant paper was adapted by many countries. Reason enough to stay away from this type i.e., if it goes out on its own when left in an ashtray, you know what kind of paper you are smoking:

I'm looking for an article I read years ago on Smoking. My memories a bit spotty, but I believe there was specific context on how tobacco became so demonized. One part of it I think I remember, had to do with nuclear testing going on at the time? Or, something along the line of scientists were trying to prove cigarettes caused cancer but could only prove the opposite?
I've been all through SOTT.net and found brief mentions of the above, but what I recall was a very long and detailed historical look at cigarettes and tobacco and what I found was not that. I can't remember if I found it on the forum, sott.net, one of the old websites, lauras website, etc. Or perhaps I'm entirely mistaken.
Again, I apologize for the spottiness of my explanation. I'm having a hard time recalling the specifics of this article but that seems to be some of the points I remember.
Any help would be great, thanks!

Your description fits with The Smoking Scare De-Bunked by Dr William T Whitby, IMO. You can easily find the .pdf online.
I think I remember the one that you're talking about. IIRC, it had a timelapse video of all of the nuclear blasts across the globe since the 1940's. It also mentioned experiments on cancer in mice or rats and that if they exposed them to radiated particles, they could create cancer like clockwork. However, they couldn't create cancer in mice or rats that were given the equivalent of 200 cigarettes a day. Then there was a mix up in the mouse/rat test subjects and the subjects that had been exposed to cigarettes were exposed to radiated particles and they didn't get cancer.
