About Cigarette

Cigarettes are small, cylindrical tobacco products that are lit and inhaled, delivering nicotine and other harmful chemicals to the user. Smoking cigarettes is highly addictive and has numerous negative health effects, including increased risk of lung cancer, skin ageing, heart disease, stroke, birth defects, and respiratory problems. While many countries have implemented restrictions on smoking in public places, cigarettes remain a widely used product worldwide.

Properties of Cigarette

A cigarette is a narrow cylinder containing a combustible material, typically tobacco, that is rolled into thin paper for smoking. Cigarettes also contain reconstituted tobacco with additives to make nicotine more volatile as the cigarette burns, increasing addictiveness. Moreover, cigarette smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic and carcinogenic.

Manufacturing Process of Cigarette

The cigarette manufacturing process begins with the procurement of the raw materials. Tobacco leaves and stems are mechanically shredded to create the tobacco cuts that form the core of the cigarette. These tobacco cuts are then put through a primary processing stage, where the tobacco lamina (leaves) are sliced, cased, conditioned, blended, cut, and dried. Concurrently, the tobacco stems are moisturised, conditioned, cut, expanded, and dried. The processed tobacco lamina and stems are then blended, allowing for the addition of flavourings. Next, the blended tobacco cuts move into the making, wrapping, and packaging stages. The completed cigarettes then move through a packer, stamper, wrapper, boxer, and over-wrapper to create the final packaged product.

Applications and Drivers of Cigarette

Truck drivers have a high rate of cigarette smoking compared to the general population. They use cigarettes to help them stay alert and awake during long driving shifts. Smoking also provides a way for truck drivers to cope with the stress and demands of their job. A National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) survey found that 51% of long-haul truck drivers were smokers, over 2.5 times the rate of the general population. Similarly, a study in Brazil found the prevalence of tobacco use among truck drivers was 21.1%, with 68.6% of smokers having very high nicotine dependence.

One of the primary drivers influencing market growth is the deep-rooted cultural acceptance of smoking in certain societies. Additionally, the introduction of flavoured cigarettes has helped to maintain consumer interest. Moreover, the growing awareness about the harmful effects of smoking traditional cigarettes has led to the development of alternatives like e-cigarettes, which are perceived by many as a safer option.
