Cigarette paper is a specialty paper used for wrapping the tobacco in cigarettes. It is designed to control the burning rate of the cigarette and to stabilize the tobacco while smoking. Cigarette papers are generally made from wood pulp and flax and can include materials such as calcium carbonate and citrate to influence how quickly the cigarette burns. The thickness and porosity of the paper affect the taste and burning rate of the cigarette. This type of paper is a key component in both hand-rolled and machine-made cigarettes. Emerging trends towards natural and organic products have led to the adoption of naturally sourced and less processed cigarette papers. However, increasing global awareness about the health implications of smoking and stringent regulations may impact market dynamics. Public health campaigns and an increasing anti-smoking sentiment globally can reduce demand for tobacco-related products. Furthermore, the development of eco-friendly and safer cigarette papers can meet consumer demand for sustainability. Innovations in papers with varied burn rates and flavors can cater to niche market segments.
