　上述した特許文献１はたばこ製品の需要計画システムを開示し、この需要計画システムは、流通基地、中間基地及び小売り販売店の各段階にて、たばこ製品の在庫を適切に管理する。このような需要計画システムによれば、消費者は小売り販売店を通じて賞味期限内のたばこ商品を確実且つ安定して購買可能となる。 Patent Document 1 described above discloses a demand planning system for tobacco products, and this demand planning system appropriately manages the inventory of tobacco products at each stage of a distribution base, an intermediate base, and a retail store. According to such a demand planning system, a consumer can purchase a tobacco product within the expiration date reliably and stably through a retail store.
　ここで、たばこ製品の賞味期限はその製造日から所定の期間を経た期日に一義的に定められているが、賞味期限を決定するにあたり、たばこ製品の流通過程にて受けるたばこ製品の品質劣化、具体的には外気温の変動に起因するたばこ製品の品質劣化は何ら考慮されていない。 Here, the expiration date of tobacco products is uniquely determined on the date after a predetermined period from the date of manufacture, but in determining the expiration date, the quality deterioration of tobacco products in the distribution process of tobacco products, Specifically, quality degradation of tobacco products due to fluctuations in outside air temperature is not taken into consideration.
　このため、たばこ商品がメンソール等の揮発性香料を含むシガレットパックの場合、このシガレットパックの流通過程にて外気温が異常に上昇するような状況が発生すれば、シガレットパックからメンソールが過度に揮散する。このため、賞味期限内にあるにも拘わらず、シガレットパックの品質を保証できなくなる虞がある。 For this reason, when cigarette products are cigarette packs containing volatile fragrances such as menthol, menthol is excessively volatilized from the cigarette pack if a situation in which the outside temperature rises abnormally during the distribution process of this cigarette pack To do.

Therefore, for the delivery of the cardboard box B, a low temperature transport truck or a cold container similar to the low temperature transport truck 10 or the cold container 12 described above is used. For delivery of the carton C or cigarette pack CP, a function similar to that of the cold container 12 is exhibited, but a smaller cold container than the cold container 12 is used. Specifically, FIG. 5 shows a small cold storage container 18 that can store a predetermined number of cigarette packs CP, while FIG. 6 shows a medium cold storage container 20 that can store a predetermined number of cartons C. .

Isolation of tobacco products at retail stores
　小売り販売店４にて、たばこ製品はシガレットパックＣＰ又はカートンＣを単位として、店員より消費者に販売されるか、又は、販売店の中又は外に設置された自動販売機によりシガレットパックＣＰを単位として販売される。 At retail store 4, cigarette products are sold to consumers by cigarette pack CP or carton C as a unit, or cigarette pack CP is sold by vending machines installed inside or outside the store. Sold as a unit.
　それ故、店外の自動販売機が販売に使用される場合、図７に示されるように、自動販売機は冷凍機２２を備えている。この冷凍機２２は自動販売機内の温度を２０℃以下の低温状態に維持する。即ち、自動販売機はその内部が保冷室として規定されている。 Therefore, when a vending machine outside the store is used for sales, the vending machine includes a refrigerator 22 as shown in FIG. The refrigerator 22 maintains the temperature in the vending machine at a low temperature of 20 ° C. or lower. That is, the inside of the vending machine is defined as a cold room.
　一方、店内にて店員によりたばこ製品が販売される場合、小売り販売店４は、図８に示されるような保冷室、即ち、保冷庫２４を備えている。この保冷庫２４は開閉可能な扉を有し、その内部に多数のシガレットパックＣＰ又はカートンＣを収容することができる。保冷庫２４は冷凍機（図示しない）を含み、この冷凍機は、保冷庫２４内の温度を２０℃以下の低温状態に維持する。 On the other hand, when a tobacco product is sold by the store clerk in the store, the retail store 4 is provided with a cold storage room as shown in FIG. The cool box 24 has a door that can be opened and closed, and can accommodate a large number of cigarette packs CP or cartons C therein. The cool box 24 includes a refrigerator (not shown), and this refrigerator maintains the temperature in the cool box 24 at a low temperature of 20 ° C. or lower.
　店員は消費者の要求に応じ、消費者が指定した銘柄のシガレットパックＣＰ又はカートンＣを保冷庫２４から取出し、消費者に販売する。 The store clerk takes out the cigarette pack CP or carton C of the brand specified by the consumer from the cool box 24 and sells it to the consumer according to the consumer's request.
　可能であれば、小売り販売店４は空調機を含むことができ、この空調機は店内全体を２０℃以下の低温状態に維持する。この場合、前述の保冷庫２４は不要となり、また、店内への通常の自動販売機の設置も可能となる。 If possible, the retail store 4 can include an air conditioner, which maintains the entire interior of the store at a low temperature of 20 ° C. or lower. In this case, the aforementioned cold storage 24 is not required, and a normal vending machine can be installed in the store.
　前述した流通システムの各段階にて、たばこ製品、即ち、棒状の喫煙物品が２０℃以下の低温状態に維持される理由は以下の保管試験の結果に基づく。 The reason why the tobacco product, that is, the stick-shaped smoking article is maintained at a low temperature of 20 ° C. or lower at each stage of the distribution system described above is based on the results of the following storage test.
　先ず、保管試験を受けるフィルタシガレット、シガレットサンプルが製造された。このシガレットサンプルは、シガレット、フィルタ及びこれらシガレット及びフィルタを互いに接続するチップペーパを含み、チップペーパは通気孔を有していない。 First, filter cigarettes and cigarette samples undergoing storage tests were manufactured. The cigarette sample includes a cigarette, a filter, and chip paper that connects the cigarette and the filter to each other, and the chip paper does not have a vent hole.
　シガレットサンプルのシガレットは、ｌ-メントールを含む刻たばこを巻紙によりロッド形状に包み込んで成形され、一方、フィルタは、フィルタ繊維のトウを包材によりロッド形状に包み込んで成形されている。これらシガレット及びフィルタの成形には製造機MMC4000（株式会社三條機械製作所性）が使用された。 The cigarette of the cigarette sample is formed by wrapping cigarettes containing l-menthol in a rod shape with a wrapping paper, while the filter is formed by wrapping a filter fiber tow in a rod shape with a wrapping material. A manufacturing machine MMC4000 (manufactured by Mitsui Machinery Co., Ltd.) was used for molding these cigarettes and filters.
　具体的には、シガレットは５９ｍｍの長さを有し、その刻たばこにはシガレット１本当たり、３ｍｇのｌ-メントールが添加されている。これに対し、フィルタは２５ｍｍの長さを有する。そして、トウのフィラメントデニールは4ｇ／9000ｍであり、フィルタのトータルデニールは3500ｇ／9000ｍであった。なお、フィルタには可塑剤としてのトリアセチンが６Wt%、添加されている。 Specifically, the cigarette has a length of 59 mm, and 3 mg of l-menthol is added to the cigarette per cigarette. In contrast, the filter has a length of 25 mm. The tow filament denier was 4 g / 9000 m, and the total filter denier was 3500 g / 9000 m. Note that 6 Wt% of triacetin as a plasticizer is added to the filter.
　製造されたシガレットサンプルは所定の本数毎に包装され、これにより、多数のサンプルグループ、即ち、サンプルパックが製造された。 * The manufactured cigarette samples were packaged in a predetermined number, thereby producing a large number of sample groups, that is, sample packs.
　この後、サンプルパックは５℃，２２℃，５５℃の恒温室内にそれぞれ分けて保管され、保管期間が1週間、２週間、1ヶ月、2ヶ月経過する度に、それぞれの恒温室から所定個数ずつ取り出された。そして、取り出されたサンプルパック内のシガレットサンプルは、リニア型の喫煙機SM400（フィルトローナ社製）を使用し且つISOの標準喫煙条件に従う喫煙試験を受け、この喫煙試験にて、シガレットサンプル1本当たりの主流煙中に含まれるタールの量(Ｔ)及びｌ-メントールの量(Ｍ)がそれぞれ測定された。 After that, the sample packs are stored separately in 5 ° C, 22 ° C, and 55 ° C temperature controlled chambers, and a predetermined number of samples are stored from each temperature controlled chamber every time the storage period is 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, or 2 months. It was taken out one by one. The cigarette sample in the sample pack taken out was subjected to a smoking test using a linear type smoking machine SM400 (manufactured by Filtrona) and in accordance with ISO standard smoking conditions. The amount of tar (T) and the amount of 1-menthol (M) contained in the mainstream smoke were measured.
　図９は、タールの量(Ｔ)に対するｌ-メントールの量(Ｍ)の比、即ち、Ｍ／Ｔの経時変化を示す。 FIG. 9 shows the ratio of the amount of 1-menthol (M) to the amount of tar (T), that is, the change with time of M / T.
　図９から明らかなように、５℃で保管されたシガレットサンプルの場合、２ヶ月の保管期間が経過しても、Ｍ／Ｔの減少は確認されない。しかしながら、２２℃で保管されたシガレットサンプルの場合、Ｍ／Ｔが経時的に僅かに減少していることが分かる。これは、刻たばこに添加されたｌ-メントールが揮散し、サンプルパック外に放出されたか、又は、揮散したｌ-メントールがサンプルパックの包装材料に吸着されたことに起因すると考えられる。 As is clear from FIG. 9, in the case of a cigarette sample stored at 5 ° C., a decrease in M / T is not confirmed even after a storage period of 2 months. However, in the case of a cigarette sample stored at 22 ° C., it can be seen that the M / T slightly decreases with time. This is considered to be because l-menthol added to the cigarette was volatilized and released out of the sample pack, or the volatilized l-menthol was adsorbed on the packaging material of the sample pack.
　一方、５５℃で保管されたシガレットサンプルの場合、Ｍ／Ｔの経時的減少は著しい。具体的には、５℃で２ヶ月保管されたシガレットサンプルのＭ／Ｔに対し、５５℃で２ヶ月保管されたシガレットサンプルのＭ／Ｔは約１／３に減少している。 On the other hand, in the case of a cigarette sample stored at 55 ° C., the M / T decrease over time is significant. Specifically, the M / T of the cigarette sample stored at 55 ° C. for 2 months is reduced to about 1/3 compared to the M / T of the cigarette sample stored at 5 ° C. for 2 months.
　上述の試験結果から明らかなように、メンソール等の揮発性香料の経時的な減少を抑制するには、たばこ商品を２０℃以下の冷温状態にて保管するのが望ましい。なお、たばこ商品がシガレットである場合、シガレットが０℃よりも低い温度に保管されると、シガレット中の刻たばこ内の水分が凍結し、刻たばこの風味や味覚を劣化させる虞がある。それ故、シガレットは０～２０℃の冷温状態にて保管されるのが好ましい。 As is clear from the above test results, it is desirable to store tobacco products in a cool temperature state of 20 ° C. or lower in order to suppress a decrease in volatile flavors such as menthol over time. When the cigarette product is a cigarette, if the cigarette is stored at a temperature lower than 0 ° C., the moisture in the cigarette in the cigarette may freeze, and the flavor and taste of the cigarette may be deteriorated. Therefore, it is preferable to store the cigarette in a cold state of 0 to 20 ° C.
　以上の説明から明らかなように、本発明の流通システムは、たばこ工場での製造から小売り販売店での販売に至る全ての過程にて、たばこ製品を低温状態に維持する。それ故、たばこ製品、即ち、フィルタシガレット自体又はシガレットパック内にメンソール等の揮発性香料が含まれていても、たばこ製品の品質を安定して維持することができる。即ち、外気温が上昇しても、揮発性香料の揮散が防止又は低減されるので、フィルタシガレット、即ち、シガレットパックの品質はシガレットパックが消費者の手元に渡るまで確実に保証される。 As is clear from the above description, the distribution system of the present invention maintains the tobacco product at a low temperature in all processes from manufacture at the tobacco factory to sales at the retail store. Therefore, even if a volatile fragrance such as menthol is contained in the tobacco product, that is, the filter cigarette itself or the cigarette pack, the quality of the tobacco product can be stably maintained. That is, even if the outside air temperature rises, the volatilization of the volatile fragrance is prevented or reduced. Therefore, the quality of the filter cigarette, that is, the cigarette pack is surely ensured until the cigarette pack reaches the consumer.
　本発明は、図３～図８に示された隔離手段以外の手段を使用することで、外気温に対してたばこ製品を隔離するようにしてもよい。 In the present invention, the tobacco product may be isolated from the outside air temperature by using means other than the isolation means shown in FIGS.
