1. The word "China" on the front of the box and the Tiananmen trademark paper printing are the key points to distinguish the authenticity. There is a clear difference between real cigarettes and fake cigarettes.

2. Identify according to the Tiananmen pattern on the trademark paper on the front of the box. The printing of real cigarettes is meticulous, and the overall pattern is like a photo, with a smooth surface and delicate printing; the pattern printed on fake cigarette label paper is uneven, the color registration is not uniform, and the printing process is rough.

3. Identify it through the printing process of the new version of "China" trademark paper. The hot stamping of real cigarettes is accurate, and the color registration of "China" in gold inlaid with white is clear and accurate, with distinct layers; the printing of fake cigarettes is relatively rough, with lack of color and paint in many places on the golden edges, no layering, and the primary and secondary tones are not prominent.

4. If you look at the prefix "华" of "中华" on the front of the box and observe it enlarged, there is a clear difference between real cigarettes and fake cigarettes. The real cigarette's "Hua" character has accurate color registration and clean gold edges; the fake cigarette's paint peeling off and fading is obvious, and the edges of the font have obvious burrs.

5. Identify the authenticity by the sealing degree of the transparent paper at both ends of the box. The sealing degree of real cigarette transparent paper is relatively clear and transparent; while the sealing degree of fake cigarette transparent paper is mostly poor and foggy.

6. Identify authenticity through the printing process of letters on the side of the trademark paper. The edges of the real cigarette fonts are relatively clean, and the switching between the red parts is clearer; the printing of the fake cigarette letters is relatively rough, with paint peeling off in many places on the edges of the letters, and the printed letters are relatively thick.

7. The base of the Chinese watch on the back of the real cigarette has anti-counterfeiting printing, with clearly visible yellow letters "★" and "YC"; the miniature anti-counterfeiting pattern of the fake cigarette cannot be seen intact. ?

8. Determine the authenticity according to the "mark of origin" on the side of the box. For real cigarettes, you can see the eight "★" and "中华" intact; for fake cigarettes, you can only see the four "★" near the edge at a certain angle, and the others are blurry and unclear.

9. The back sealing mainly determines whether it is machine edge sealing or electric rod heating edge sealing. The bubbles produced after real cigarettes are evenly sealed; fake cigarettes are more irregular, with more flaky bubbles of varying sizes.

10. Identify the authenticity according to the shape of the strip box pull head and whether the cut is flat. The shape of the box drawstring of real cigarettes is relatively fixed, and the incisions are smooth and stubble-free; the drawstrings of fake cigarettes are irregular in shape and have more stubble on the incisions.
