Abstract
Smoking articles having reduced ignition proclivity characteristics are disclosed. Smoking articles include a paper wrapper that is treated with a film-forming composition. The film-forming composition forms treated discrete areas on the wrapper. The treated discrete areas reduce ignition proclivity properties of the smoking article made with the wrapper. The film-forming composition contained a film-forming material blended with a burn promoting agent in the absence of a burn retardant. In one embodiment, for instance, the film-forming composition consists essentially of a film-forming material and a burn promoting agent. Various advantages and benefits are realized by blending a film-forming material with burn promoting agent without also incorporating a burn retardant into the composition.
