What is the shelf life of cigarettes?

Smoking is harmful to health. This is a slogan that everyone often says to stop smoking. Basically, even three-year-old children know this sentence, but everyone knows that old smokers who often smoke still have a negative attitude towards smoking. There is a special preference, and people nowadays are already under a lot of pressure. When I'm under a lot of mental stress, I like to smoke to relieve stress. The price of cigarettes on the market ranges from a few yuan to several thousand. When buying cigarettes, I wonder if you have observed them carefully. Generally, the shelf life is rarely seen on the boxes of loose cigarettes. So why is this? Today we are going to talk about this issue. Why are there so few expiration dates on cigarette boxes? Tell the answer, you may not think of it!

First of all, let’s understand the production process of cigarettes and the ingredients of cigarettes. Cigarettes are mainly made from dried tobacco leaves. Because freshly dried tobacco leaves will greatly affect the taste, so generally It will be stored for a period of time, but if this process is not properly kept, it will also become damp and moldy, which will affect the taste. If there is no shelf life marked on it, there is no way to know how long the tobacco leaves have been stored! What’s more, when people buy cigarettes, they usually buy them in boxes, but factory-produced cigarettes are shipped in a whole carton!

When cigarette sellers generally purchase goods, they buy them in whole cartons. Because of customer demand, they dismantle the whole cartons of cigarettes that have been packaged and sell them! Because the production dates of loose cigarettes and the entire carton are different, manufacturers generally print the production date and shelf life on the packaging box of the entire carton of cigarettes based on the whole. Because customers generally buy loose cigarettes, they cannot see the shelf life printed on the packaging box. There are also some small boxes of cigarettes with shelf life printed on them, but because the writing is not obvious or for other reasons, the batch number and machine number are not visible. Mixed together, it becomes difficult to see the production date!
