4. A wrapper as defined in claim 1 , wherein the coating of the reduced ignition composition is continuous, the first side of the base web having a surface area and wherein the coating covers greater than about 80% of the surface area of the first side of the base web.
5. A wrapper as defined in claim 1 , wherein the wrapper is a single layer wrapper.
6. A wrapper as defined in claim 1 , wherein the wrapper includes a plurality of layers, the base web comprising one of the layers.
7. A wrapper for a heat but not burn stick comprising:
a base web comprising cellulosic fibers combined with a flame retardant filler, the base web having a first side and a second and opposite side, the flame retardant filler comprising kaolin particles or metal hydroxide particles comprising greater than about 15% by weight of the base web and comprising less than 35% by weight of the base web; and
a coating disposed on the first side of the base web, the coating comprising a reduced ignition composition.
8. A wrapper as defined in claim 7 , wherein the flame retardant filler particles comprise aluminum hydroxide particles.
9. A wrapper as defined in claim 7 , wherein the flame retardant filler particles comprise kaolin particles.
10. A wrapper as defined in claim 7 , wherein the base web has an inherent permeability of from about 0 CU to about 20 CU, wherein the base web has a basis weight of from about 30 gsm to about 100 gsm, wherein the coating has a basis weight of less than 5 gsm.
11. A wrapper as defined in claim 7 , wherein the coating of the reduced ignition composition is continuous, the first side of the base web having a surface area and wherein the coating covers greater than about 80% of the surface area of the first side of the base web.
12. A wrapper as defined in claim 7 , wherein the reduced ignition composition comprises an alginate, a starch or mixtures thereof.
13. A wrapper as defined in claim 7 , wherein the wrapper is a single layer wrapper.
14. A wrapper as defined in claim 7 , wherein the wrapper includes a plurality of layers, the base web comprising one of the layers.
15. A heat but not burn stick comprising:
a column of an aerosol generating material; and
a wrapper as defined in claim 7 , the wrapper surrounding the column of the aerosol generating material.
16. A heat but not burn stick as defined in claim 15 , wherein the aerosol generating material comprises a tobacco.
17. A wrapper for a heat but not burn stick comprising:
a base web comprising cellulosic fibers, the base web having a first side and a second and opposite side; and
a continuous coating disposed on the first side of the base web, the coating comprising a reduced ignition composition, the reduced ignition composition comprising a polymer material, a cellulose material, or mixtures thereof, the base web having a permeability where coated with the reduced ignition composition of less than about 5 CU and having a diffusivity of less than 0.04 cm/s as determined by a CO 2 diffusivity tester, the first side of the base web having a surface area and wherein the reduced ignition composition covers greater than about 40% of the surface area of the first side of the base web.
18. A wrapper as defined in claim 17 , wherein the reduced ignition composition comprises an alginate, a starch, or mixtures thereof.
19. A wrapper as defined in claim 17 , wherein the reduced ignition composition covers greater than about 80% of the surface area of the first side of the base web.
20. A wrapper as defined in claim 17 , wherein the base web further contains flame retardant filler particles in an amount from about 10% to about 40% by weight.
21. A wrapper as defined in claim 17 , wherein the base web does not contain any filler particles.
22. The wrapper as defined in claim 1 , wherein the base web is formed from an aqueous suspension including the cellulosic fibers and the flame retardant filler.
23. The wrapper as defined in claim 1 , wherein the base web has a basis weight of less than 35 gsm.
