[0051] Result Detection

[0052] The sucking resistance adjustment of the present invention had the main beneficial effects of improving an air intake effect, being beneficial to aerosol generation, reducing aerosol interception, being beneficial to reducing the smoke temperature and improving the sucking sense experience including the smoke amount and the smoke temperature. A ten-score system was employed. For the smoke amount, 1 to 3 scores indicated small smoke amount, 4 to 6 scores indicated moderate smoke amount, 7 to 8 scores indicated relatively sufficient smoke amount, and 9 to 10 scores indicated sufficient smoke amount. For the smoke temperature, 1 to 3 scores indicated that the smoke temperature was hot, 4 to 6 scores indicated that the smoke temperature was relatively hot, 7 to 8 scores indicated that the smoke temperature is relatively comfortable, and 9 to 10 scores indicated that the smoke temperature was comfortable. The comprehensive evaluation referred to the overall evaluation on the smoke amount, the smoke temperature, and the smoke release consistency, wherein 1 to 3 scores indicated poor comprehensive performances, 4 to 6 scores indicated general comprehensive performances, 7 to 8 scores indicated relatively good comprehensive performances, and 9 to 10 scores indicated good comprehensive performances.

[0054] It should be noted that: for the above tests, heaters of the same type were employed, and structure, heating elements, temperature control programs and overall structure are all the same. The difference lies in the difference of air intake channels and manners, which is only manifested in the difference of the sucking resistance values.

[0055] (2) Related Index Detection

[0056] a. The smoke amount was tested by a weight reduction method and carried out by using an ISO standard smoking method, i.e., 35 ml/2 s/30 s. After seven gulps, a mass difference before and after sucking was calculated, and the test results of each embodiment were divided by the results of Comparative Example 1 to obtain a relative value of the smoke amount.

[0057] b. A temperature on the surface of the cigarette 5 mm away from a cigarette holder end and the smoke temperature in the center position were tested by a thermocouple. The maximum temperature value of the tested smoke of seven gulps and the maximum temperature on the surface of the cigarette were taken.

[0058] It can be seen from the data of the above-mentioned embodiments and Comparative Example 1 that the sucking resistance of the cigarette product is controlled by the present invention to account for more than 50% of the sucking resistance when the cigarette product and the heater in matched use with the cigarette product are used together. Compared with that of Comparative Example 1, the sucking resistance of the cigarette product accounting for the sucking resistance when the cigarette product and the heater in matched use with the cigarette product are used together is improved both in the smoke amount sucked and the maximum temperatures of the smoke and the cigarette holder. Compared with Comparative Example 1, the smoke amount sucked is more abundant, the maximum temperatures of the smoke and the cigarette holder are both reduced to a certain extent, and the overall sucking sense is greatly improved, which is consistent with the results of the above-mentioned sensory sucking scores.
