Paper

The paper for holding the tobacco blend may vary in porosity to allow ventilation of the burning ember or contain materials that control the burning rate of the cigarette and stability of the produced ash. The papers used in tipping the cigarette (forming the mouthpiece) and surrounding the filter stabilise the mouthpiece from saliva and moderate the burning of the cigarette as well as the delivery of smoke with the presence of one or two rows of small laser-drilled air holes.According to Simon Chapman, a professor of public health at the University of Sydney, the burning agents in cigarette paper are responsible for fires and reducing them would be a simple and efficient means of dramatically reducing the ignition inclination of cigarettes. Since 1980s Philipp Morris and RJ Reynolds developed fire-safe cigarettes but did not market them. The burn rate of cigarette paper is regulated through the application of different forms of microcrystalline cellulose to the paper. Cigarette paper has been specially engineered by creating bands of different porosity to create "fire-safe" cigarettes. These cigarettes have a reduced idle burning rate which allows them to self-extinguish. This fire-safe paper is manufactured by mechanically altering the setting of the paper slurry.New York was the first U.S. state to mandate that all cigarettes manufactured or sold within the state comply with a fire-safe standard. Canada has passed a similar nation-wide mandate based on the same standard. Many other U.S. states have passed or are considering fire-safe mandates.European union wishes to ban in 2011 cigarettes that are not fire-safe. According to a study made by European Union in 16 European countries, 11000 fires were due to cigarettes between 2005 and 2007. They caused 520 deaths and 1600 people injured.

Non Filter Cigarettes

Non filter cigarettes were in fact the earliest and original form of cigarettes. As the name suggests, they do not have a filter. In other words, it is in the non-filtered form that cigarette companies first produced cigarettes. The more luxurious ones, the ones fitted with filters, came only later on. Non filter cigarettes have these advantages. They can be lit from either end. It enables the smoker to inhale smoke more easily as there is no filter in the way to labor against. These types of cigarettes are relatively inexpensive as compared to normal filter cigarettes. As such, discount non-filter cigarettes are offered at even more economic rates.
Non-filter cigarettes have a strong taste and are not recommended for first time cigarette users. Non-filter cigarettes are about 30- 40% more harmful in terms of nicotine content. This startling revelation prevents a large number of people from inhaling them. To encourage and attract users to this non-filters, manufacturers offer great discounts.
For regular, non-filter cigarette smokers, smoking is not a very expensive habit. Competitive market trends have made manufacturers maintain standardized prices on these products. For this reason, a customer may choose any brand that suits their taste. Producers offer discount non-filter cigarettes to influence customers to switch brands.
A number of non-filter cigarette smokers are frequent smokers. This is because these cigarettes have a strong taste and are highly addictive. Non-filter cigarettes are shorter in length and can't be smoked till the end, as they get very hot as compared to filter types. For this reason, smokers simply light more non-filter cigarettes. Using discount non-filter cigarettes can financially sustain increased consumption.
The majority of non-filter cigarette smokers opt for discount non-filter cigarettes, as these are mostly available in cartons. This provides a constant source of cigarettes. As such, these purchases also do away with the chance of running out of cigarettes. This helps save money because single pack purchases are comparatively more expensive. Discount non-filter cigarette offers are available at local stores and on the Internet. Depending upon the source, discount rates may vary.
In fact, this is exactly the reason why there are still a large number of smokers who prefer discount cigarettes, than non-filter ones. The cigarette companies, whether Camel, Virginia Slims, or Winston, realize that for most smoke addicts around the world, money is the major constraint that restricts them from fulfilling their wishes of smoking as many cigarettes a day. By offering non-filter cigarettes, along with a decent discount, the top cigarette brands wants to ensure that this gap stands bridged as much as possible. Another factor that draws customers to non filter discount cigarettes is its strong taste, something that is watered down in filter cigarettes. For a beginner, even though, this taste may feel to be too strong, for an experienced smoker, it is something they crave for. From a cigarette maker point of view, it is a common market trend that non filter cigarettes – discount cigarettes or non-discount ones – tend to sell more than filtered ones. This is because non filter cigarettes are shorter in length, and they cannot be smoked to the very end like filter cigarettes owing to the heat. As a result, smokers consume more number of non filter cheap cigarettes than filtered ones on an average. In order to cash in on this tendency, premium cigarette makers such as Marlboro, Camel, Barclay, Basic etc usually offer cheap cigarettes and that in cartons than single pack This technique has the added advantage that the chain smokers won’t ever run out of cigarettes. When they do, they again purchase cheap cigarettes in bulk, in cartons. Now, you may realize why top cigarette brands still persist with non filter cigarette brands even when filter cigarettes remain their popular or most selling brands.
