To be honest, one thing I've noticed is that people who regularly speak without filtering their words have a harder time remembering to filter when they're in a situation where the thoughts in their mind would be rather inappropriate to say.

For example, if you get used to swearing a lot, then you're going to more easily slip up and swear in a place where it would be deemed rude or inappropriate.

If you get used to saying whatever pops into your mind, you're going to more easily slip up and just blurt out the first thing you think of, which leads to... problems. Kind of like that South Park episode where Cartman pretended he had tourettes.

Refraining from swearing where it is deemed inappropriate seems, to me, to be a fairly good exercise in maintaining a filter between your mind and your mouth. I find it pretty useful to grow up learning how to easily switch on and off your filter. A friend of mine is 15 now and has trained herself to switch her filter back on whenever she's within a certain distance of her parents.
