I smoked a cigarette recently today that I had burnt the cigarette butt to where it noticeably shrunk/burnt the filter to the point where you could see the inner part of the filter. I'd say probably less than half way through the entire filter, and smoked some, but not much of the cigarette. Should I be concerned for bad symptoms or long term that might come up later or soon?

Smoking is a known risk factor for various serious health conditions. Smoking any part of a cigarette, especially one that has been altered or partially burned, can be harmful to your health.
