The tubular cigarette structure for heating the cigarette tobacco is generally divided into a tobacco smoke section and an acetate fiber filtering section, and has the characteristic of less harmful components in the smoke. For ordinary tobacco products in daily smoking, a smoker ignites tobacco therein and then sucks smoke generated by combustion, and thousands of substances generated by combustion of the tobacco are sucked into the body together while taking nicotine, and the substances generated by combustion cause great harm to the body of the smoker. The principle of heating cigarette is as follows: the special tobacco is heated and baked by the heating equipment, and the temperature is controlled within the range lower than the ignition point, so that the nicotine and various aromatic substances in the tobacco can be baked, harmful substances generated by combustion are avoided, and the harm of smoke is reduced to a certain extent.

The low-temperature non-combustion equipment has the taste and flavor closest to those of cigarettes, has unique fragrance of tobacco, simultaneously avoids most of toxic and harmful substances generated by high-temperature combustion, and receives attention of extensive smokers once the low-temperature non-combustion equipment is brought out. Meanwhile, flavoring is added in the heated cigarettes as a new way of flavoring and supplementing the flavor, and the added flavor is added into tobacco products through a carrier and released through suction. In the prior art, tobacco scientists develop filters as carriers for supplementing the aroma and smell of main stream smoke, and essence and spices are mainly applied to filter materials in a capsule method, a flavor line method, an adsorbent method and the like, so that cigarettes with different tastes are prepared.
