The invention relates to a cigarette paper onto which a composition is applied in the form of a pattern which has a Tamura coarseness of at most 0.22 mm, preferably at most 0.2 mm. According to ISO 2470-1 the absolute difference in whiteness between an area of the cigarette paper over the whole of which the composition is applied and an area of the cigarette paper onto which the composition is not applied is at least 25% in the dry state, preferably at least 35% and particularly preferably at least 40% and at most 60%, preferably at most 55%. Furthermore, the opacity according to ISO 2471 of an area of the cigarette paper over the whole of which this composition is applied is higher, when the composition is in the dry state, than the opacity of an area onto which this composition is not applied. |
