Cigarette paper plays a significant role in, amongst other factors, the manufacture, visual appearance and objective mainstream yield characteristics of cigarettes.
The manufacture of cigarettes: In this instance the paper physical (mechanical) properties of tensile strength and stretch are used as objective indicators to whether or not a paper can be successfully run on a particular type of cigarette making machine.
The appearance of cigarettes: With the requirement for lower mainstream yields from cigarettes, which is often coupled with the increasing excise duties being payable on cigarettes, the consumer is often concerned with the overall appearance of the product that is being consumed. In respect to cigarette paper appearance this can be objectively assessed by the opacity and whiteness.
The mainstream yields from cigarettes: The regulatory environment in which the cigarette industry operates is becoming more challenging. What the effects are of changing cigarette paper variables on mainstream yields is of interest to cigarette designers.
