[0002] At present, due to addiction caused by long-term smoking, it is difficult for smokers to quit smoking in a short term. Especially, for the smokers of medium and low consumption, due to large daily consumption of cigarettes and disposable cigarette holders and high price of disposable cigarette holders on the market, under economic pressure, the smokers basically do not purchase cigarette holders, and thus their health is threatened. In addition, most of the cigarette holders on the market are reusable without proper disinfection measures, which leads to poor hygiene. Moreover, the filter efficiency of disposable cigarette holders on the market is generally low. Especially after 70% of a cigarette has been smoked, the filter effect of a filter tip on tar and nicotine greatly decreases. Traditionally developed cigarette holders are difficult to promote among the smokers of low and medium consumption, and statistics show that the smokers of low and medium consumption consume not less than 70% of cigarettes. Therefore, the health of the smokers of low and medium consumption is a key concern, and it is of great significance to develop cigarette holders suitable for the smokers of low and medium consumption.
