As far as I understand, there is absolutely no clinical evidence that suggests filters do anything as far as reducing the risks of cancer and other smoking-related diseases is concerned. In fact it's suggested that it has the opposite effect since it tends to make people smoke more.

The Cigarette Century is an excellent recent book that also talks about these issues.
