Abstract: A filtered smoking article includes an aerosol generation rod, a filter disposed at a downstream end of the aerosol generation rod, and tipping paper wrapped around a downstream end part of the aerosol generation rod and an outer circumferential surface of the filter and connecting the aerosol generation rod and the filter. The tipping paper is paper containing bleached pulp and unbleached pulp, and fibers of the unbleached pulp have a length of 1 mm to 4 mm and a thickness of 20 ?m to 70 ?m.

Abstract: A tipping wrapper for aerosol generating articles has a base layer with a porosity of less than 1.5 C.U., wherein the base layer contains at least one filler material, the tipping wrapper further including a surface which is pigmented with a pigment component which contains CaCO3 and at least a second component serving as a non-combustible filler, the pigment component having a grammage of at least 2.0 gsm, wherein the pigmented surface has a surface smoothness of at least 400 sec. A method for producing a tipping wrapper for cigarettes includes providing a base layer of the tipping wrapper, and coating the base layer with a solution containing a filler component, wherein the coated base layer is pressed and heated at a predefined temperature which is greater than 100° C.

Abstract: A cigarette has a tipping wrapper connecting a mouthpiece rod and a tobacco rod, wherein the mouthpiece rod and the tobacco rod each have a cylindrical shape with a respective longitudinal axis arranged as a surface normal of the base area of the respective cylindrical shape, wherein the tipping wrapper is circumferentially wrapped around the mouthpiece rod and the tobacco rod at least in part along their consecutively arranged longitudinal axes, has an inner surface directed towards the mouthpiece rod and tobacco rod and an oppositely arranged outer surface and includes at least wood pulp. The tipping wrapper further includes at least 20% of clay and/or Al(OH)3, has a porosity equal to or less than 5.0 C.U. and a surface smoothness of more than 100 sec (Bekk) on the outer surface.

Abstract: A smoking article provided with a filter including an aerosol generating member, a filter including a filter material and one or more filter wrappers wound around an outer circumferential surface of the filter material, and an outer wrapper wound around the outer circumferential surfaces of an end part of the aerosol generating member and the filter, wherein the outer circumferential surface of the outer wrapper has an arithmetic mean roughness of less than 2.0 ?m, and the filter wound with the outer wrapper has a compression recovery of 60% or more after a compression load of 2.5 N is applied to a range of a length of 10 mm in the diameter direction thereof.
