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?

This can happen due to nerves, too much coffee, or reflux. Try and stay calm, lay off the caffeine, and have smaller meals throughout the day. If it doesn’t go away speak with someone who cares about your well-being; take some long deep breaths while you’re at it. Remember to drink water and get rest.
