Abstract:
In order to find out the influences of cigarette material parameters on the ammonia delivery in mainstream cigarette smoke, the effects of seven cigarette material parameters, including cigarette paper permeability (
X1), tipping paper permeability(
X2), plug wrapper permeability(
X3), specification of tow in combined filter at tobacco end (
X4), specification of tow in combined filter at mouth end (
X5), filter additive A(
X6), and filter additive B(
X7), on the ammonia delivery in mainstream cigarette smoke were studied by mathematical model and model analysis method, and single factor effect, double factor effect and marginal effect were analyzed. The results showed that: 1) The seven parameters in the order of their effects on ammonia delivery in mainstream cigarette smoke were
X5>
X2=
X4>
X1>
X3>
X7>
X6;2)
X1 and
X4,
X1 and
X5,
X1 and
X7,
X2 and
X4,
X2 and
X5,
X2 and
X7,
X3 and
X4,
X5 and
X6,
X5 and
X7 presented relatively obvious interaction between two factors. 3)
X5 was the most significant factor, the ammonia delivery in mainstream cigarette smoke decreased obviously with the increase of
X5.
