There are many combination with the porosity of tipping paper and plug wrap for a design of ventilation rate of cigarette. This study was carried out to determine the effect of a design of permeability of tipping paper and inner or outer of plug wrap on the ventilation rate of cigarette with constant pressure drop in column part and filter part. Our results indicated that the higher the plugwrap porosity, the higher the ventilation rate and the less variable of cigarette in case of mono filter. But, in case of duel filter, the ventilation rate of cigarette was depended on the manufacturing method of filter plug, even though using the same porous plug wrap on inner and outer of filter. We also found that the porosity of outer plug wrap was more effect on the ventilation rate than the porosity of inner plug wrap. As the high porosity of inner plug wrap compared with the porosity of outer plug wrap, the less variable of ventilation rate of cigarette in any combination of the porosity of plug wrap. When we used the higher porous outer plug wrap than inner plug wrap, the ventilation rate of cigarette was high. Also, the higher the inner plug wrap porosity, the less variable of ventilation rate of cigarette.

The variability of a ventilated filter cigarette depends on the details of its construction and one properties of its components and the variations in filter ventilation is effected by many factors such as tobacco column pressure drop, filter pressure drop, tipping paper and plug wrap permeability, and vent position. In this study, the effects of combination of tipping paper and plug wrap on filter ventilation of cigarettes were studied for the target ventilation level under the specific tobacco column and filter tip in order to reduce the variation of filter ventilation. When Nicolas Baskevitch\`s equation on filter ventilation was used to try out Monte Carlo Simulation, at the combination where tipping paper permeability is high and plug wrap permeability is low, even the small change in tipping paper and plug wrap permeability showed high variation of target ventilation level. Also, according to the analysis data of filter ventilation in cigarettes designed at the level of 45% filter ventilation by the combinations with tipping paper and plug wrap, the variation in cigarette filter ventilation was increased as increasing tipping paper permeability and decreasing plug wrap permeability. As the results of this study, the variation of filter ventilation can be reduced by increasing plug wrap permeability/tipping paper permeability ratio in the cigarette design, considering 2-3% of tipping paper permeability variation(%CV) and about 10% of plugwrap permeability variation.

The ventilation rate of a ventilated filter cigarette depends on the details of its construction and on the properties of its components such as tobacco column pressure drop, filter pressure drop, tipping paper and plug wrap permeability, and vent position. Also, It was affected by the condition of adhesion of glue between tipping paper and plug wrap. This study was carried out to find the effect of surface properties of tipping paper and plug wrap, and a characteristics of glue on the ventilation rate of cigarettes. Our results indicated that the surface properties of tipping paper and plug wrap affected on the ventilation rate of cigarette. Also, the variation of ventilation rate was affected by the surface properties of tipping paper and the size of glue particles. We also found that the surface properties of tipping paper and plug wrap, and the emersion size of glue were the major factors to concern in the design for materials of cigarettes.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of porous plug wrapping and perforated tipping paper on tip ventilation rate of cigarettes. The wider perforated width of tipping paper was and the more rows Perforation were given, the more increased the effort on the tip ventilation rate, and the high porous plug wrap also had a influence on the tip ventilation rate. Tip ventilation rate purposed would be obtained by adjusting the permeability of tipping papers with high porous plug wrap. To keep the cigarette quality uniform, the high porous plug wrapping paper and the tipping paper of small pore and many rows of perforation must be combined.

A model predicted describing the effect of cigarette making materials on the level of filter ventilation was developed and evaluated. The developed model was expressed in terms of a linear and quadratic relationship which was validated with experimental measurements for different porosity of plug wrap and tipping paper, unencapsulated pressure drop of filter plug and cigarette column and vent position. Forty-six experimental frequencies were determined as a result of using three levels with five factors Box-Behnken design and analyzed by the multiple regression analysis with backward stepwise in STATISTICA/PC under restricted conditions. The four factors, except filter pressure drop variable, were statistically significant at the level of 0.05 but most of all linear by linear interactions were comparatively lower significant. By the analysis of linear and quadratic regression coefficient, filter ventilation of the cigarette was affected by porosity of plugwrap (5.87, -4.25), porosity of tip paper (5.68, -1.00), vent position (-3.87, 3.08), tobacco column pressure drop (2.56, 0.66), and filter pressure drop (1.50, 0.58) in the decreasing order. It should be emphasized that the major conclusion of this study was not that any particular parameter was linear or quadratic on any limit scale, but that there were highly significant relationships among factors involving linear, quadratic and their interaction and perhaps even linearity between and within factors. While, there is also quite strong evidence that vent position from mouth end and cigarette making materials are reverse relationship on this experimental model. On the basis of the result, it can be concluded that the porosity of the plug wrap and tipping paper has a marked effect on degree of filter ventilation rate. The F-value of plug wrap and tipping paper porosity among five factors were 39.2 and 36.8 respectively with P-value of 0.000 indicating higher significant for both factors. According to the analysis of variance, the model fitted for filter ventilation was significant at 5% confidence level and the coefficient of determination ($R^2$=0.84) was the proportion to variability in the data well fitted for by the model.

In order to minimize the trial frequency in the new filter cigarette design, we studied the relationship between smoke yield and tipping materials of cigarette. A three levels full factorial design involving filament denier (X1,2.5-3.3d), Porosity of the acetate filter plug wrap (X2, 3,500-16,000CU) and porosity of the tip paper (X3, 400-1,200CU) was used. Three independent factors (Xl, X2, X3) were chosen for their effects on the various responses and the function was expressed in terms of a quadratic polynomial equation, Y : $\beta$o + $\beta$1Xl + $\beta$2X2 + $\beta$3X3 + $\beta$11Xl2 + $\beta$22X22+ $\beta$33X32 + $\beta$12X1X2 + $\beta$13XIX3 $\beta$23X2X3 which measures the linear, quadratic, and interaction effects. Twenty-nine trial numbers were obtained as a results of using a three levels full factorial design and it was analyzed by the multiple regression analysis with backward stepwise in STATISTICA/pc under restricted conditions. Tar yields of the cigarette was affected by porosity of tip paper (0.66), filament denier (0.47) and porosity of plug wrap (0.28) in the decreasing order, and linear effect of tip paper porosity (B3) and filament denier (91) were significant at a level of 0.01($\alpha$). The filament denier and tipping paper porosity interaction F ratio among three factors had a P-value of 0,000041, indicating higher interaction between these factors. Based on the analysis of variance, the model fitted for Tar (Y1) was significant at 5% confidence level and the coefficient of determination (0.96) was the proportion of variability in the data fitted for by the model.

All variables in the model are significant at the 0.05 level.
