AB - As a major physical parameter for the tobacco industry, the ventilation rate  of cigarette should be measured reliably. Theoretical and numerical  investigation on ef-fects of ambient conditions (e. g., cumulative flux of  ozone and additional pressure drop) on the ventilation rate was carried out.  It was found that the standards exhibited a non-linear airflow component,  which explains why additional pressure drop has an effect on the calibrated  value, and had low sensitivity to cumulative flux of ozone.
