Product Design
Project Reduce Ignition Propensity.
Abstract
B&W's objective of Project Reduce Ignition Propensity is to develop mentholated products meeting anticipated reduced ignition propensity tests. The strategy is to evaluate slow burning cigarette paper and different tobacco blends. Tests were run on low sidestream papers, amoloid LV solution, CORESTA papers with varying levels of chalk and citrate, and Kool cigarettes with different porosities for ignition propensity. Consumers were also asked how the liked the prototype cigarettes. For the most part, smokers liked the control better on most attributes, but not by large margins.
Fields
- Hypothesis
- Introduction of new/unconventional productsResearch and development of novel nicotine delivery devices and experimental tobacco designs.
- Use of additivesModification of tobacco products through use of additives and measuring effects on dependence, behavior, and toxicity.
- Use of tobacco processing/ blendsModification of tobacco products through changes in tobacco processing and use of blends, and measuring effects on dependence, behavior, and toxicity.
- Use of filters, paper, and ventilationModification of tobacco products through use of filters, paper, and ventilation, and measuring effects on dependence, behavior, and toxicity.
