The pulp composition of cigarette papers was considered to evaluate the effects of flax and wood fibers of cigarette papers on the characteristics of cigarettes. In the cigarette system, the partial and total replacement by flax and wood pulp cigarette papers was carried out to simulate the effects of flax and wood fibers. The regular and ultra-slim cigarettes with flax pulp cigarette papers were replaced by wood pulp cigarette papers and the tobacco column was filled with flax and wood cigarette papers instead of cut tobacco leaves, respectively.

The mainstream smoke, whole smoke components and similarity of smoke were analyzed. It was concluded that the partial and total replacement of tobacco by flax into wood had shown the good similarity depending on the tar level, blending and cigarette system.
