Why is there no production date and shelf life on cigarettes?

At the beginning of 2020, a kind of novel coronavirus raged and the whole country stopped for it.

In the face of the menacing epidemic, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the people of China always laughed at the epidemic, while the people of China used humor to fight against COVID-19. All kinds of jokes brought laughter to everyone in this family era.

Among them, one joke is very accurate. Some friends summed up the experience of SARS that year and thought that friends who smoked were not easy to be recruited.

Of course, this is just a joke, just for Bojun's smile. I didn't expect that some experts really came out to refute rumors.

But speaking of the bad habit of smoking, have you found that the shelf life and production date of cigarettes are invisible on the cigarette case?

In fact, this statement is only half right. The packaging of cigarettes has the date of production, but cigarettes have no shelf life.

When a tobacco company produces cigarettes, every time it produces a batch of cigarettes, it will mark the production date on the big packaging box and the product conformity label. Generally, every item or even every package will not be marked with a specific production date.

Let's recall, as a smoker, who would go to a tobacco company or supermarket to buy a whole box of cigarettes? Basically not.

In fact, it is also very interesting to recall. The change of smokers' habit of buying cigarettes can also reflect the strength of a country's national strength. At the end of last century and the beginning of this century, smokers usually bought packets of cigarettes.

At that time, my dad was a heavy smoker, and my favorite thing to do was to buy him a pack of double happiness when he was playing mahjong. At that time, my dad was generous, and cutting was unified. This time, I had two and a half pieces of spare money, but at that time, two and a half pieces were already very purchasing power.

At the end of 1990s, my favorite warship model 1: 2000 was only 4.50 yuan, but I couldn't buy it if I wanted to.

Later, my father gave up smoking, but I had another father-in-law. I buy cigarettes for my father-in-law, one by one, and many of my peers are like me. Because there was extra money in the pocket, everyone gave up buying a pack of cigarettes and bought it for my father-in-law.

From here, we can also see the changes in our lives after the country is strong and the people are rich. But then again, basically no one will take cigarettes home in a box. What a hero! Therefore, it is normal for smokers not to see the production date of cigarettes.

However, some manufacturers still blur the production date on the single package of cigarettes. Some manufacturers will print some invisible ink codes. This string of numbers actually plays an anti-counterfeiting role, but if you are an insider, you can read a lot of hidden information from it.

Among them, there is the date of production, accurate to the year, month, day, production machine number and other information. For example, there was a saying at that time that cigarettes with three prefixes could rival China cigarettes, but there was no official response.

As for the shelf life of cigarettes, I don't think it is necessary at all. Now cigarettes are basically not sold. Some brands of cigarettes are even in short supply and need to queue up to get the goods. Moreover, friends who buy cigarettes generally smoke when they buy them, and generally do not hoard goods, so there is no over-guarantee.

What's more, there is a saying in society that smoking is inherently harmful to health. Who cares if it is out of date? Is it possible that smoking expired cigarettes is good for your health?

Having said so many cigarettes, finally, smoking is harmful to health.

Finally, ps, do any friends know where I can buy the 1:2000 warship model of that year?
