  • US 2016/198,761 relates to a cigarette paper with self-extinguishing properties that has treated areas, onto which a composition is applied that contains filler particles or a mixture of filler particles, wherein the diffusion capacity in the treated areas is less than in an untreated area of the cigarette paper.
  • at least 20% by weight of the filler particles in the treated areas are formed by a filler with a flaked shape, a filler with a scalenohedral crystal structure, a filler with a rhombohedral crystal structure, or a filler with a cubic shape.

  • the problem of the present invention is to provide a wrapping paper for a smoking article that has a low ignition propensity and a reduced impact on taste.
  • the inventors have found that by providing a wrapping paper for a smoking article with a plurality of burn-suppressing regions and a certain ratio of diffusion capacity between the burn-suppressing regions and the base paper, i.e. the non-burn-suppressing regions, it is possible to obtain a low ignition propensity smoking article with a reduced impact on taste.
  • a first aspect of the present invention relates to a wrapping paper comprising a base paper, where the base paper comprises a plurality of burn-suppressing regions that are provided apart from each other, wherein the ratio of diffusion capacity between the burn- suppressing regions and the base paper, i.e. the non-burn suppressing regions, is in the range of 5% to 35%.

  • the cigarette 10 has a tobacco rod 1 1 consisting of a tobacco filler 13 that is wrapped with a wrapping paper 12 of the present invention in the form of a column.
  • An ordinary filter 15 may be attached to the proximal end (namely, the downstream end in the inhaling direction) 1 1 b of the tobacco rod 1 1 by using a tipping paper 14 according to a conventional method.
  • a plurality of stripe-shaped burn-suppressing regions 122 which are coated as will be explained in the forthcoming description, are formed on one of the surfaces of the base paper 121 that constitutes the wrapping paper 12 of the present invention.

  • the cigarette 20 has a similar structure to that of the cigarette 10 shown in FIG. 1 , except for the structure of the burn-suppressing regions in the wrapping paper. Therefore, in FIG. 2, an identical reference number is assigned to the same element as the constitutional element in FIG. 1 , and the explanation thereof is omitted.

They typically have a generally cylindrical rod shaped configuration and include a charge, roll, or column of smokable material, such as shredded tobacco (e.g. in cut filler form), which is surrounded by a paper wrapper forming a so-called "tobacco rod".
  • a cigarette or cigarillo usually also has a cylindrical filter element aligned in end-to-end relationship with the tobacco rod.

In the present disclosure, all amounts given in wt.-% in a particular embodiment add up to 100 wt.-%. The weight percent are thereby calculated by dividing the mass of each component by the dry mass of the base paper.
  • a "low ignition propensity" smoking article is one that has been designed to be less likely than a conventional cigarette to ignite furnishings and equipment, e.g. soft furnishings such as a couch or mattress. Ideally, a low ignition propensity smoking article will continue to burn when freely suspended such as in the holder of an ashtray or when being held in the hand without puffing ("free burn"). The tendency for a cigarette to go out during free burn is referred to as "self-extinguishment”.

  • the burn-suppressing regions are in a form of round annular bands extending in a circumferential direction of the tobacco rod and being spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction of the tobacco rod.
  • the present invention relates to a wrapping paper comprising a plurality of burn- suppressing regions that are provided apart from each other on one surface of the wrapping paper, wherein the ratio of diffusion capacity between the burn-suppressing regions and the non-burn suppressing regions is in the range of 5% to 35%.
  • the positive effect of the present invention i.e. the combination of a low ignition propensity without a deterioration of taste properties is due to the specific ratio of diffusion capacity between the burn-suppressing regions and the non- burn suppressing regions that are provided apart from each other at the base paper as laid out above.
  • Example 1 The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to examples thereof. However, these examples are illustrative and do not limit the scope of the invention.
  • Example 1
  • Two 84 mm low ignition propensity cigarettes were prepared with the same tobacco blend. These cigarettes had both a 57 mm tobacco rod attached to a 27 mm filter by a tipping paper. The filters were cut from the same filter rod and the tipping papers were cut from the same reel. The tobacco rod of cigarette C was wrapped in the prior art wrapping paper from example 1 (paper A), while cigarette D was wrapped in the wrapping paper according to the invention from example 1 (paper B).
  • Example 3 Four 84 mm cigarettes were prepared with the same tobacco blend. These cigarettes had both a 63 mm tobacco rod attached to a 21 mm filter by a tipping paper. The filters were cut from the same filter rod and the tipping papers were cut from the same reel.
  • the tobacco rod of cigarette E was wrapped in a wrapping paper (paper C) with no burn-suppressing regions, which was used as a taste benchmark for the wrapping papers of the tobacco rods of cigarettes F, G and H (papers D, E and F, respectively) that do contain burn-suppressing regions. Wrapping papers D, E and F only differ from wrapping paper C in the presence of burn-suppressing regions and differ amongst each other in the diffusion capacity of the burn- suppressing regions. In wrapping papers D, E and F the burn-suppressing regions were 6 mm wide annular bands separated between them by 18 mm in a construction like the one depicted in FIG. 2. The specifications of the respective wrapping papers are indicated in Table 4 below.
  • Each panelist received three reference cigarettes (cigarette E), and three test cigarettes, one of each type (F, G, H), grouped in pairs so that each pair would contain a reference cigarette and a test cigarette.
  • the panelists smoked the pairs of cigarettes consecutively, and then indicated which of the test cigarettes was closer in taste to the reference cigarette.
  • the smoking test concluded that cigarette H was closer in taste to reference cigarette E.
