How to distinguish real and fake cigarettes - Tutorial on how to distinguish real and fake cigarettes

Cigarettes are special commodities under state control. The national tobacco department has strict requirements on its annual production volume, and the price of cigarettes continues to rise. Under the influence of these factors, many fake cigarettes have appeared on the market. Those fake cigarettes are of poor quality and taste, and are harmful to the body after smoking. But how can we usually tell the authenticity of cigarettes?

How to distinguish real and fake cigarettes

1. To distinguish a whole pack of cigarettes, you can observe the outer packaging pattern, font printing, and color of the cigarettes. For genuine cigarettes, the outer packaging of the whole pack of cigarettes is complete, the font printing is very clear, and the color is pure. However, the packaging quality of counterfeit cigarettes is relatively poor and dull, especially the trademark area is uneven in color.

2. To distinguish the authenticity of cigarettes, you can also start from their outer plastic packaging. For real cigarettes, no matter before or after opening the packaging, you can push the cigarette box out of the plastic packaging by hand without feeling any resistance. However, fake cigarettes cannot do this. No matter before or after opening the packaging, it is difficult to push the cigarette box out of the plastic packaging.

3. There are also differences between the cigarette papers of real and fake cigarettes. The cigarette papers of real cigarettes are whiter, and the adhesion parts are mostly machine-made, so the adhesion is very good and it is difficult to scrape them apart by hand. The cigarette papers of fake cigarettes are not pure white, and the adhesion is relatively poor. You can separate them with a light touch. There is also a very simple way to distinguish the authenticity of cigarettes. You can directly use your mobile phone to scan the QR code on the packaging to know whether it is real or fake.

4. You can also tell the authenticity of cigarettes by feel. No matter what brand a real cigarette is, when you touch its outer packaging, you will feel obvious bumps and depressions, especially the part where the brand is marked, which will feel a little convex. However, fake cigarettes do not pay attention to these details during the processing process. Their outer packaging is relatively smooth, and even the parts where the trademark and brand exist will not feel bumpy.
