Cigarettes, whether soft or hard, are covered with transparent films. When consumers buy cigarettes, the first thing they come into contact with is this outer packaging.

True smoke: Plastic film is a special kind of film with smooth feel, good transparency and good gloss. This film is only used for cigarette packaging. When you open it and touch it, you will feel that the outer packaging film is very thin and soft to the touch.

Fake cigarette: It is made of ordinary film with poor gloss. If you look at the cigarette case through the membrane, you will feel that the permeability is poor. When you touch it with your hands, you will feel that the film is very thick and hard.

Distinguish by color. Consumers who often smoke a cigarette should pay attention to comparing the colors of cigarette cases when buying cigarettes. If it is possible to buy cigarettes next time, you might as well bring a really empty cigarette case. No matter how realistic the fake cigarette case is, it still has color difference from the real cigarette case.

Identify from cut tobacco. Some people mistakenly think that the yellower the cut tobacco, the better the quality of cigarettes. Actually, this is a misunderstanding.

True tobacco: The cut tobacco of true tobacco is natural in color, with black in yellow. There are generally no stems in tobacco, because stems are not easy to burn and are easy to turn off. Regular manufacturers puffed tobacco stems in the production process.

Fake cigarettes: In order to confuse consumers, sulfur is generally used to smoke tobacco leaves, and cut tobacco looks like Huang Liang. Tobacco stems often appear in fake cigarettes, so it is impossible for its manufacturers to work hard on tobacco stem expansion. Tobacco stem expansion is a special process and requires the purchase of high-end equipment.

Identify from the soot. The average consumer thinks it is a good cigarette when he sees that the ash is white after smoking. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding. In fact, the color of soot is affected by the dryness of tobacco leaves. When the tobacco leaves are dry, the ash after burning is grayish white, and on the contrary, it is dark and difficult to suck.

Judging from the ash content, it is necessary to observe whether the tobacco stem is mixed with tobacco during combustion. When tobacco stems appear, cigarettes will be difficult to smoke.

Triple suction

Smoking cigarettes is an effective means for consumers to identify the authenticity of cigarettes. Ordinary consumers smoke a cigarette for a long time, and the taste suddenly changes greatly, so they may encounter fake cigarettes.

True cigarette: the general formula is stable and the taste is stable. All kinds of cigarettes in regular cigarette factories have specific materials and long-term formulas. Although the source of tobacco leaves may come from different parts of the country, the stability of taste can be guaranteed according to the comprehensive formula of 40 grades of tobacco components.

Fake cigarettes: counterfeiters don't care about the taste. They can cheat into roughly similar cigarettes. If they can change them into money, everything will be fine. It can also be said that fake cigarettes all have the same taste.

The fourth demolition

Through the above methods, when it is difficult to identify the authenticity of cigarettes, the most direct method is to open them!

From the way of pasting, it is a more direct way of unpacking identification.

Real cigarettes: The boxes are all mass-produced by machines. The glue on the machine is dotted, and the glue on both sides of the cigarette case is uniform, regular and fixed.

For example, there are three fixed gluing points on the side of each cigarette case, and the spacing of each gluing point is equal, about 10 cm. Glue is applied to both sides of a pack of cigarette cases by dispensing glue. If you tear it open, you can see neat glue traces bit by bit, and the distance between the two points is 2-2.5 mm. The glue marks on both sides are also symmetrical.

Fake cigarettes: they are all glued by hand and brushed with a brush. When you open it, you can clearly see the traces of the brush, and the glue traces on both sides of the cigarette case are also asymmetric and random.

Anti-counterfeiting professionals say that unpacking cigarette cases is the most effective way to distinguish authenticity, which is applicable to all counterfeit cigarettes.

Another way to identify after unpacking is to look at the inner paper. There is platinum paper in every pack of cigarettes. After opening the cigarette case, you have to open the platinum paper to get the cigarette. Pay attention when opening. The real cigarette platinum paper has only two connections, and the other parts are completely cut and easy to open. When the fake cigarette platinum paper is pulled, it is serrated in the middle, and the pulling place is rough and uneven.

In addition to the above methods, the identification of counterfeit cigarettes should also pay attention to the following three situations:

One is a special specification cigarette. The specifications of cigarettes are unified throughout the country. Each cigarette is 84 mm long, including the cigarette holder, 20 cigarettes per box, or 10 cigarettes. If 25 cigarettes of different specifications are found in the market, they must be fake cigarettes.

One is a "cigarette label". The so-called "cigarette", as the name implies, is to put a few fake cigarettes in a real cigarette case. According to professional counterfeiters, when making "signature cigarettes", counterfeiters usually put fake cigarettes in the second row or the innermost row of a pack of cigarettes. This is because counterfeiters take advantage of consumers' usual smoking habits. Generally, the first cigarette will take the cigarette in the middle or edge of the outermost row, and when he smokes half a pack of cigarettes, he finds that he is smoking fake cigarettes. It's hard to say whether he will return it.

In addition, if you don't know the varieties of local tobacco monopoly, you may also smoke fake cigarettes.

Walking on the edge of falsehood, perhaps, really can only be my helpless choice. Because it is said that the methods of counterfeiters are also improving-very technical.

For example, there is a new feature in the sales of fake cigarettes, that is, counterfeiters have cloned many "twin brothers" by taking advantage of the characteristics of multiple brands in a series at present. For example, the Yunyan series has "soft package blue Yunyan", Yuxi series has "soft package blue Yuxi", Hongtashan series has "sixteen-pack Hongtashan", and there are fake soft package Hongtashan and fake Ashima.

The biggest harm of this cloned product is that these fake cigarettes are concealed and deceptive. Because there are many brands in a series, when some operators get these fake cigarettes through other channels, they still think they are new brands of a series of cigarette factories, but the local tobacco companies don't, even if they are seized by the monopoly department. At the same time, because these fake cigarettes have no authentic products to compare, it is more difficult for ordinary smokers to distinguish the authenticity. Of course, individual smokers will use the above misunderstanding as an excuse to deceive consumers again.
