On the Estimation of Permeabilities and Draw Resistances of Cigarette Components

The goal of this study is to investigate whether the permeability of the tipping/plugwrap system, the permeability of the cigarette paper and the draw resistances of the filter and tobacco rod can be calculated from measurements of the degree of filter ventilation and of the open and closed draw res...
