Russian term or phrase: разорвал пальцами бумажку на фильтре, оторвал от него половину

В это время тот, кто в самом начале открывал пузырек с нафтизином, быстро раздал все участником потребления запакованные шприцы, затем достал из кармана пачку сигарет «Ява», достал из нее одну сигарету, убрал пачку обратно в карман, разорвал пальцами бумажку на фильтре, оторвал от него половину и протянул тому, кто грел до этого момента пузырек. Тот быстро бросил кусок фильтра в пузырек, и сказал «готово».

I don’t understand what’s happening with the filter. I’d be terribly grateful for a prompt reply because my deadline is running out.

Explanation:
The drug is then drawn into the syringe through the wad of filter material in the belief that impurities will be filtered out. Also, sometimes, the filter is squeezed out over a glass of Coca-cola or some other drink in order to get the last drop of narcotic. This is called the 'wash.'
