The paper of the genuine cigarette box is coated paper, the trademark color is pure and bright, the hot stamping is fine, the packaging is flat and compact, the sealing paper pattern is clear and the paste is correct. Counterfeit cigarettes are usually packaged in imitation packaging paper of famous brand cigarettes. The paper quality is poor, the printing is rough, the colors are incorrect, and the color registration is inaccurate. The fine parts of the pattern often appear rough, and the sealing paper is rough and blurry. There are also counterfeit cigarettes that use the official packaging paper printed by the state. Such fake cigarettes are difficult to identify from the packaging, so you need to check the packaging of the cellophane outside the box. The cellophane of genuine cigarettes is flat and ironed, while counterfeit cigarettes are mostly hand-packed, with uneven cellophane and skewed pasting. In addition, the opening straps of genuine cigarettes are round, while the ends of fake cigarette straps are often cut straight. Check cigarettes. Genuine cigarettes are made of ribbed paper, while counterfeit cigarettes are mostly made of white paper. Genuine cigarettes have the same length and thickness, while counterfeit cigarettes have different thicknesses and tightness. Genuine cigarettes have trademarks, machine numbers, months, etc. stamped on them. Clear and complete, the stamps and handwriting on counterfeit cigarettes are unclear and irregular; the surface of genuine cigarettes is smooth and clean, and the cuts are neat. Counterfeit cigarettes often have oil stains, yellow spots, and stains. Check for smoke smell. The cut tobacco of genuine cigarettes is orange or reddish-yellow, oily in color, and has a unique tobacco smell. When lit and smoked, you will feel a pure taste, elegant aroma, no odor, and no irritation; the cut tobacco of counterfeit cigarettes is dark in color because it has not been fermented or The fermentation time is short, and there are odors such as earthy, musty, and grassy smells. When you smoke it, you will feel bitter, irritating, spicy, and uncomfortable. When you touch cigarettes, whether they are soft or hard packaging, they are all covered with a transparent film. When consumers buy cigarettes, the first thing they come into contact with is the outer packaging. Real cigarette: The plastic film feels smooth to the touch, has good transparency and good gloss. It is a special film. This film is only used for cigarette packaging. When you open it and touch it again, you will feel that the outer packaging film is thinner and softer to the touch. Fake cigarettes: A general film is used, which has poor gloss. When you look at the cigarette box through the film, you will feel that the transparency is poor, and it will feel sluggish when you touch it. If you touch it again after taking it apart, you will feel that the film is thicker and harder. Second, look at the color to identify it. Consumers who regularly smoke one type of cigarette should pay attention to comparing the color of the cigarette packs when purchasing cigarettes. If possible, bring a real empty cigarette case with you the next time you buy cigarettes. No matter how realistic the fake cigarette box is, there is still a difference in color from the real cigarette box. Identification from cut tobacco. Some people mistakenly believe that the yellower the cut tobacco, the better the quality of the cigarette. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Real cigarette: The tobacco of real cigarette has natural color, with yellowish to black color. There are generally no untreated tobacco stems in shredded tobacco, because untreated tobacco stems are difficult to burn and are prone to flameout. Regular manufacturers puff the tobacco stems during production. Fake cigarettes: In order to confuse consumers, sulfur-smoked tobacco leaves are generally used to make the cut tobacco appear yellow and bright. Tobacco stems are often seen in fake cigarettes. It is impossible for the manufacturer to expend effort on puffing the tobacco stems. It is a specialized process and requires the purchase of high-end equipment. Identified from soot. After ordinary consumers smoke, they see white ash and think it is a good smoke. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding.

In fact, the color of cigarette ash is affected by the dryness of the tobacco leaves. When the tobacco leaves are dry, the ash will appear gray-white after burning. On the contrary, it will be darker and harder to smoke. To judge the authenticity of cigarettes from the ash, you should observe during burning to see whether there are tobacco stems mixed with the cut tobacco. When the tobacco stems appear, the cigarette will be difficult to smoke. Smoking three kinds of cigarettes is a more effective way for consumers to identify the authenticity of cigarettes. Generally, consumers will smoke one kind of cigarette for a long time, and if the taste suddenly changes greatly, they may encounter fake cigarettes. Real smoke: Generally, the formula is relatively stable and the taste is also stable. For a variety of cigarettes from a regular cigarette factory, the materials are carefully selected and the formula is developed over a long period of time. Although the sources of tobacco leaves may come from different regions across the country, the stability of the taste can be guaranteed by using a comprehensive formula based on 40 levels of cut tobacco ingredients. Counterfeit cigarettes: Counterfeiters cannot take into account the issue of taste. If they can fool them into roughly similar cigarettes and exchange them for money, everything will be fine. It can also be said that fake cigarettes all taste the same. Four dismantling methods: When it is difficult to identify the authenticity of cigarettes for a while, the most direct way is: dismantle them and take a look! Opening the packaging box and identifying it from the adhesive method is the most direct way. Real cigarettes: The packaging boxes are mass-produced by machines. The glue applied by the machine is dot-shaped glue dots. The glue dots on both sides of the cigarette box are even, regular and fixed in position. For example, there are three fixed glue points on the side of each cigarette box, and the distance between each glue point is equal, about 10 centimeters. The glue on both sides of a pack of cigarette boxes is made by dispensing glue. If you tear it open and look at it, you can see neatly arranged little glue marks, with a distance of 2-2.5 mm between the two points. The glue marks on both sides are also very symmetrical. Fake cigarettes: They are all glued manually and applied with a brush. When you take it apart, you can clearly see the traces of the brush, and the glue marks on both sides of the cigarette box are also asymmetrical, which is very random. Anti-counterfeiting professionals say that opening cigarette boxes is the most effective way to identify authenticity and is applicable to all counterfeit cigarettes. Another way to identify after disassembly is to look at the lining paper. Each pack of cigarettes contains metallic platinum paper. After opening the cigarette box, you have to pull apart the platinum paper to get to the cigarettes. There is particularity in the opening part. The real cigarette platinum paper is only connected at two points, and other parts are completely cut, making it easy to open. When the platinum paper of fake cigarettes is pulled apart, the center is jagged and the place where it is pulled apart is rough and uneven
