Steady Burning...

I am trying, out of sheer curiosity, to find out how commercial cigarette makers get cigarettes to burn continuously even when not being drawn upon. If anyone could enlighten me I would be grateful.

Answer: The cigarette papers, if you look closely seem to be 'striped' they are infact made of thick, thin, thick, thin pieces of paper, and the thick bits burn very slowly, so it burns evenly. This is how I believe it works, however, I'm not sure.
