The invention discloses an infrared spectroscopic analysis method of the integral quality characteristic of mainstream smoke of cigarette. The analysis of the integral quality characteristic of mainstream smoke of a cigarette sample is completed through smoke collection, power-on and pretreatment of a vacuum infrared spectrometer, background subtraction, spectrum acquisition and data analysis. The method is suitable for the analysis and detection of the integral quality characteristic of the cigarette smoke, can directly acquire the integral spectral information of the mainstream smoke without individually trapping a granule phase part by a Cambridge filter, enhances the analysis sensitivity of the above device through the background subtraction and data preprocessing, and allows the main component score of a sample to be conveniently calculated through combining a metrological calculating technology, and the score characterizes the integral quality characteristic of the mainstream smoke of the sample. The score can be widely applied to the classification, the true and counterfeit cigarette identification and the homogenization evaluation of different samples. The whole evaluation process is fast and accurate, and is highly sensitive, and the method provides effective technical support for the quality improvement and the synergism of cigarette products and the development of new products.
