以前的研究表明，国家收入分组与卷烟工程相关。在2008-2010年期间，从11个低收入、中等收入和高收入国家购买了111种卷烟（N = 111个品牌），以评估卷烟的物理尺寸和一系列卷烟设计特征。低收入（7.5%）、中等收入（15.3%）和高收入（26.2%）国家的平均通气量差异显著（P ≤ 0.001）。不同收入组之间的差异还表现在香烟长度（P = 0.001）、接装纸长度（P = 0.01）、过滤嘴重量（P = 0.017）、通风排数（P = 0.003）、每支香烟烟草重量（P = 0.04）和纸孔隙率（P = 0.008）。逐步线性回归表明，通风和烟草长度是低收入国家ISO焦油产量的主要预测因素（P = 0.909，0.047），而水松纸（P < 0.001），过滤器长度（P < 0.001）、排气口排数（P = 0.014）和每支香烟重量（P = 0.015）是中等收入国家焦油产量的预测因素。通风（P < 0.001）、排气孔排数（P = 0.009）、每支香烟重量（P < 0.001）和过滤嘴直径（P = 0.004）预测了高收入国家的焦油产量。卫生官员必须认识到香烟设计问题，以便对烟草产品进行有效的监管。
Previous studies have shown that country income grouping is correlated with cigarette engineering. Cigarettes (N = 111 brands) were purchased during 2008–2010 from 11 low-, middle-, and high-income countries to assess physical dimensions and an array of cigarette design features. Mean ventilation varied significantly across low- (7.5%), middle- (15.3%), and high-income (26.2%) countries (P ≤ 0.001). Differences across income groups were also seen in cigarette length (P = 0.001), length of the tipping paper (P = 0.01), filter weight (P = 0.017), number of vent rows (P = 0.003), per-cigarette tobacco weight (P = 0.04), and paper porosity (P = 0.008). Stepwise linear regression showed ventilation and tobacco length as major predictors of ISO tar yields in low-income countries (P = 0.909, 0.047), while tipping paper (P < 0.001), filter length (P < 0.001), number of vent rows (P = 0.014), and per-cigarette weight (P = 0.015) were predictors of tar yields in middle-income countries. Ventilation (P < 0.001), number of vent rows (P = 0.009), per-cigarette weight (P < 0.001), and filter diameter (P = 0.004) predicted tar yields in high-income countries. Health officials must be cognizant of cigarette design issues to provide effective regulation of tobacco products.
