Cigarette Paper
Cigarette paper is the envelope wrapping the tobacco. It is a special paper grade for an industrial production and for hand cigarette rolling. High quality paper from chemical pulp is used.
This paper is a thin sheet made of wood, linen, hemp, or rice stalks.
One of the important factors in the type of paper is the amount of smoke penetration in the paper. The greater the permeability, the lighter the smoke will be, and the reaction of the paper to its burning will be different, and the color of the cigarette ash will also be different.
Materials such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, titanium oxide, potassium sodium tartrate, and potassium citrate are used in cigarette papers to control combustion.
Cigarette paper together with other paper grades fall within a group of specialty papers distinguished by fulfilling specific features required by their particular functions and use.
