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.
