A technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a roll for a smoking article for reducing the amount of ash produced by the burning of cigarettes from the cigarette. Specifically, the paper contains, for example, pulp, calcium carbonate, D50 median particle diameter obtained by laser diffraction scattering, 1.8 Mu m or more and 5.5 Mu m or less, and a combustion modifier, the content of calcium carbonate is 35% by mass or more and less than 50% by mass, and the content of the combustion modifier is 0.6% by mass or more and 4.0% by mass or less.
