Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010143034A1] A breakable cigarette (80) and a method for manufacturing a breakable cigarette are provided. The breakable cigarette (80) comprises a paper body (82) containing a tobacco roll (100) having at least two separate tobacco sections (102) positioned in end-to-end abutment in a breaking plane (104) so that essentially no tobacco strands span the breaking plane. The paper body in turn defines a line of weakness (108) intermediate its ends and lying in the breaking plane (104). The breakable cigarette (80) may be broken into two discrete cigarette portions (90) at the breaking plane, which, due to the presence of the break between the tobacco sections (102), result in two separately smokable cigarette portions (90) with no loose tobacco strands protruding from the broken end after breaking.
