  • a perforation 531 may be formed in at least a portion of the cooling segment 530. According to an embodiment, the perforation 531 may be formed at a position separated by 5 mm to 25 mm from a downstream end of the cooling segment 530 toward an upstream. It is desirable that the perforation 531 be formed at a position separated by 15 mm to 20 mm from the downstream end of the cooling segment 530 toward the upstream.
  • the perforation 531 may include 4 to 10 holes, and for example, the perforation 531 may include 4, 6, or 8 holes. However, the position of the perforation 531 and the number of the holes constituting the perforation 531 are not limited thereto.
  • air may flow into the cooling segment 530 from the outside through the perforation 531 to move toward the mouthpiece 540.
  • the air flowing in from the outside through the perforation 531 may join air flowing in from an end of the tobacco rod 510.
  • Some of the air flowing in from the outside through the perforation 531 may be delivered to the user through a passage formed inside a cellulose acetate of the mouthpiece 540, and other of the air flowing in from the outside through the perforation 531 may be delivered to the user through a passage formed between a corrugated inner wrapper and an outer wrapper of the mouthpiece 540.
  • FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a cigarette including a corrugated inner wrapper, according to another embodiment.
  • a cigarette 600 may include a tobacco rod 610, a first support segment 620, a second support segment 630, and a mouthpiece 640.
  • the cigarette 600 may further include other components in addition to the components 610 to 640 illustrated in FIG. 6 , or some of the components 610 to 640 illustrated in FIG. 6 may be omitted.
  • the first support segment 620 may be located at a downstream end of the tobacco rod 610
  • the second support segment 630 may be located at a downstream end of the first support segment 620
  • the mouthpiece 640 may be located at a downstream end of the second support segment.
  • an arrangement structure of a plurality of segments constituting the cigarette 600 is not limited thereto.
  • the first support segment 620 and the second support segment 630 may include a tube-shaped structure including a hollow therein.
  • An inner diameter of the second support segment 630 may be larger than an inner diameter of the first support segment 620.
  • a diameter of the first support segment 620 may be 7 mm to 9 mm, and the inner diameter of the first support segment 620 may be about 2.0 mm to about 4.5 mm.
  • a diameter of the second support segment 630 may be 7 mm to 9 mm, and the inner diameter of the second support segment 630 may be about 3.0 mm to about 5.5 mm, for example, the inner diameter of the second support segment 630 may be 4.0 mm.
  • the inner diameter of the second support segment 630 is larger than the inner diameter of the first support segment 620, so that air passing through a hollow of the first support segment 620 may flow into a hollow of the second support segment 630, and may be diffused.
  • the air that moves from the hollow of the first support segment 620 toward the hollow of the second support segment 630 and is diffused may have an increased contact surface area and an increased contact time with air flowing in from the outside through perforations 631 as the deflection in a downstream direction of the cigarette 600 decreases. Accordingly, an effect of cooling may be increased.
  • the perforations 631 may be formed in at least a portion of the second support segment 630.
  • the hollow inside the second support segment 630 may be surrounded by a wall made of cellulose acetate, and the perforations 631 may be formed on the wall made of cellulose acetate.
  • the perforations 631 may be formed at a position separated by 5 mm to 25 mm from a downstream end of the second support segment 630 toward an upstream. It is desirable that the perforations 631 be formed at a position separated by 15 mm to 20 mm from the downstream end of the second support segment 630 toward the upstream.
  • the perforations 631 may include 4 to 10 holes, for example, the perforations 631 may include 4, 6, or 8 holes.
  • the position of the perforations 631 and the number of the holes constituting the perforations 631 are not limited thereto.
  • air may flow into the hollow of the second support segment 630 from the outside through the perforations 631 to move toward the mouthpiece 640.
  • the air flowing in from the outside through the perforations 631 may join air flowing in from an end of the tobacco rod 610.
  • Some of the air flowing in from the outside through the perforations 631 may be delivered to the user through a passage formed inside the cellulose acetate of the mouthpiece 640, and other of the air flowing in from the outside through the perforations 631 may be delivered to the user through a passage formed between a corrugated inner wrapper and an outer wrapper of the mouthpiece 640.
