Abstract: The paper for rolling a smoking article of the present invention contains particle-form calcium carbonate (30 to 60 wt %), calcined clay (5 to 30 wt %) and pulp. Furthermore, an alkaline metal salt is contained as a chemical additive. In addition, kaolin is contained in the paper. The basis weight of the paper falls within the range of 20 to 70 g/m.sup.2. Optical characteristics of the paper and the burning characteristics and ash characteristics of a cigarette are improved and the side stream smoke is reduced.
