CIGARETTE PAPER WITH HIGH SHORT-FIBRE FRACTION

The invention relates to a wrapping paper for smoking articles which has a basis weight of at least 10 g/m 2 and at most 70 g/m2 and comprises a mixture of cellulosic pulp fibres， the mixture of cellulosic pulp fibres comprising at least 90% of short-fibre cellulosic pulp fibres， based on the mass of the cellulosic pulp fibres in the cellulosic pulp mixture， or comprising at least 95% of short-fibre cellulosic pulp fibres， based on the number of cellulosic pulp fibres， with at least 10% of the short-fibre cellulosic pulp fibres being ground， based on the mass of the number of cellulosic pulp fibres of the cellulosic pulp fibre mixture， and with the wrapping paper having over more than 50% of its area， preferably at least 55% of its area and especially preferably at least 60% of its area， an air permeability of at least 30 cm3/(cm2??min-kPa)， and where the wrapping paper comprises at least one burning salt.
