Belomorkanal is also used by cannabis users, wherein "emptied cigarettes are then filled with a mixture of tobacco and marijuana for smoking",[4][5] with the cardboard tube serving as a built-in roach.
Markets
Belomorkanal cigarettes were widely available in the Soviet Union. They are still sold in some post-Soviet states, including Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.[6][7][8]
In popular culture
In a 1985 song by Jan Krzysztof Kelus, the name of the cigarettes is compared to Auschwitz Filters due to the fact that many thousands of Gulag prisoners had died during the construction of the canal.[9]

In Simon Sebag Montefiore's WW2-set novel Red Sky at Noon (2017), it is stated that Belomorkanals were reserved for officers.
Belomorkanal cigarettes are smoked by Major General Oleg Turbin, commander of the 12th Guards Tank Division in the Cold War novel The Red Effect (2013) by Harvey Black.
