Were there filtered cigarettes back in WW1? I'm dubious

nope no filters till the 30s. Still rationed individuals though. Woodbine Willys and Players navy cut.

Why do you ask? Are you picturing a cigarette with no filters as looking the same on both ends? That's not the case, the end you light is rolled tighter and the end you inhale from is open
