A professional from Yinchuan Tobacco Monopoly Bureau said that three tricks can distinguish between genuine and fake cigarettes. First, look at the trademark. All real cigarettes have the same trademarks as small packets, with clear patterns and handwriting. However, the fake cigarette patterns are printed roughly, with different colors, unclear handwriting, some incomplete letters, and errors and omissions in Chinese Pinyin and English. The second is to look at the cigarette case. Small packets of real cigarettes are packed with transparent paper, and the pulling head of the pulling wire is in the shape of a small table, and the bonding is firm and flat. The transparent paper of fake cigarettes is uneven and loose, and the pull head is generally flat-headed, and most of them have no lead. The third is to look at cigarettes. All regular cigarettes have neat filter cuts, no stubble, uniform cigarette thickness, moderate hardness, clear steel seal, machine number and month, neat cigarette surface, and smokeless cigarette butt. Fake cigarettes are the opposite. The length of fake cigarettes is often .5 ~ 1 mm shorter than that of real cigarettes. "In Dalian Tobacco Monopoly Bureau Market Management Center, the notice board on one side of the real and fake cigarettes display site reminds people to pay attention to this intuitive identification method. "It's not that all fake cigarettes are shorter than real cigarettes." The staff of this center said that this is only one of the intuitive criteria for identifying true and false cigarettes. According to reports, in addition to the different lengths of "paper" of cigarettes, there are at least four other criteria for distinguishing between true and false cigarettes: the transparent paper of counterfeit cigarette cases is usually harder and thicker than that of cigarette cases. If it is a recycled cigarette case, there will be a crease on the back of the flip cover of the cigarette case, and counterfeit cigarettes are filled in mixed cigarettes or real cigarette cases. Counterfeiters often open the upper cover of the cigarette case and put the counterfeit cigarettes into it. The identification mainly depends on whether the seals on both sides of the box cover have been opened and identifies the crease. There are no wrinkles in the aluminum foil equipment packaging of real cigarettes, the aluminum foil printing of fake cigarettes is vague, the foil points are thick and have obvious network shape, and there are wrinkles and unevenness on the aluminum foil paper mixed with cigarettes. Fake cigarettes are printed with distortion, feel hard, and mixed cigarettes are generally inserted in the back row. It is understood that there are four main characteristics of counterfeit cigarettes that have changed packaging in Dalian market at present, namely, recycling fake cigarettes in real boxes; Recycled genuine cigarettes with lower grade in genuine boxes or genuine cigarettes in fake cigarette cases, and sold at a price slightly lower than that of genuine cigarettes; Real cigarette cases contain fake cigarettes and are sold as real cigarettes; Cigarettes are usually mixed with real cigarette cases, in which several counterfeit cigarettes are inserted. First, the application of sensory methods to identify true and false cigarettes, master the technology of comprehensive analysis and judgment according to the inspection conditions of strips, packets, cigarettes, cut tobacco and smell. 1. Some manufacturers, due to the transformation of equipment, make the characteristics of cigarette packaging technology inconsistent with the conventional situation. For example, the drawing head of the Chinese small box produced by Fokker Machine of Shanghai Cigarette Factory is semi-circular; GDX-2 packaging machine adopts upper opening cover; GDX-I's cigarette labels are point-sealed, and SASIB's improved carton is side-opened, three-point-bonded, and the cigarette labels are one-to-one, and the cigarette labels have cut corners but multiple angles at the same time. 2. For some small cigarette manufacturers, there will be cases where small (hard) boxes are packaged by hand, such as the hard box rhododendron of Nanning Tobacco Factory in Guangxi. Second, distinguish true and false cigarettes from cigarette cut tobacco. From the manufacturing process and formula structure of cut tobacco, true and false cigarettes can be distinguished. Its main indicators are: aroma: the inherent tobacco aroma of cigarette smoke. Harmony: the aroma is harmonious and consistent, and the characteristics of one monomer cannot be felt. Such as adding fragrance, adding materials and blending with leaf fragrance; The external fragrance of the cigarette with external fragrance is slightly prominent, which does not cover the inherent fragrance of the cigarette itself. Miscellaneous odor: it does not have the essential smell of cigarettes, and has a slight or obvious bad smell. Such as grassy smell, scorched smell, earthy smell, turpentine smell, pollen smell, local odor and choking smell. Irritation: a slight or obvious discomfort caused by the smoke senses. Such as irritation to nasal cavity, oral cavity and throat. Aftertaste: the taste feeling left by the smoke after it enters the mouth and exhales through the nasal cavity. Quality of cut tobacco: a. Color: middle and high-grade cigarette cut tobacco is golden yellow and orange, with good luster and oiliness; B, the tobacco shred content and stem content are low, the cut tobacco structure is compact, and the cut tobacco width and length are appropriate; C. Whether expanded cut tobacco, expanded cut stems or tobacco flakes are mixed (generally tobacco flakes are used for middle and low-grade cigarettes). Generally, counterfeit tobacco shreds: a. The luster and oiliness of tobacco shreds are poor, and the content of tobacco shreds and stems is high; B, the cut tobacco is dyed and turns red at the corners of the cut tobacco; C. leftover cigarettes or untreated inferior cut tobacco. 3. Distinguish the true and false cigarette seal from the seal and cigarette label: there should be two parallel glue seals behind the soft box cigarette seal, and the paste position of 1 packs of cigarettes in one strip is basically even and aligned; Fake cigarettes are sealed by hand, and the back of the seal is irregular, sometimes the whole seal is stuck. Cigarette label: the identification method is the same as that of the box. According to the printing characteristics of each brand trademark, it is mainly identified from the aspects of pattern bronzing, luster and color of the box and the paper texture of the box. Shanghai Cigarette Factory Yuxi Cigarette Factory uses imported gravure printing machine for trademark printing, so the trademark has bright luster and distinct layers, and the edge of the line is slightly serrated when observed with a magnifying glass (or carefully observed by the naked eye) (such as "Three Five", "Jianpai" and "Marlboro" in foreign smoke). Nanjing Cigarette Factory's "Boutique Nanjing" and "Jiapin Nanjing" small box films adopt the latest technology "Dragon" pattern color film, which enhances the anti-counterfeiting function of products. Simple identification method: ① Look at the packaging: the counterfeit cigarette packaging is dirty and loose, and the transparent paper is twisted and wrinkled. Trademark patterns and words are gloomy and shallow. ② Look at the transparent paper gold cable: the fake cigarette gold cable has no cable head, flat head and is narrow. ③ Look at cigarettes: the surface of fake cigarettes is unclean, the color is light, the mouth is crooked, the incision is hairy and the steel seal is incomplete. ④ Look at the filter tip: the bonding place of counterfeit cigarettes is uneven and soft, and the cigarette and filter tip are easily out of touch. ⑤ Look at the color: The cut tobacco of counterfeit cigarettes is brown-black or blue-brown, with dull luster, and some are added with pigment. ⑥ Look at the soot: The counterfeit soot turns black and explodes outward, showing a thorn ball shape. If you buy a whole cigarette, the simple identification method: buy a pack of cigarettes and shake the whole box directly. If you don't hear the noise inside the cigarette box, it is real cigarettes. If you hear the collision sound between the cigarettes inside the cigarette box, it is fake cigarettes. Because the real cigarettes are packed by machine and the packed cigarettes are very close to each other, the cigarettes inside the cigarette box will not collide with each other. The fake cigarettes are artificially packed, so there is a certain gap between cigarettes, and shaking will hear the collision between cigarettes.
