Abstract:In order to further explore the influence of cigarette paper on the conventional components of mainstream cigarette smoke, 8 kinds of cigarette paper with different parameters (the morphology of calcium carbonate, the particle size of calcium carbonate, the content of calcium carbonate, the type of acid in combustion promoter, the content of retention aid, the form of spiral marking, the depth of spiral marking, the embossing method of spiral marking) were prepared and made into cigarettes, and influences of 8 kinds of cigarette paper mentioned above on the releases of conventional components in mainstream smoke were investigated. The results showed that: The variation of the design parameters of 8 kinds of cigarette paper had influences in different degrees on the conventional components of mainstream smoke.Using big particle or slurry calcium carbonate or increasing the content of calcium carbonate, the release of tar and CO decrease by 0.1~0.4 mg/cig.The use of non-spiral or light spiral marking cigarette paper, or positive pressure cigarette paper could help reduce the releases of tar and CO, and the maximum decrease of CO could reach to 8.7%.The releases of tar and CO of cigarette paper with tartaric acid as combustion promoter was lower, and the content of retention aid had no significant effects on the conventional components of mainstream smoke. |
