Dry cigarette is a chemical substance in cigarettes. After chemical treatment, many additives are added. The smoke produced by burning cigarettes contains about 4000 chemicals, many of which are toxic, causing abnormal substances and thousands of carcinogens. Radioisotopes are the cause of lung cancer in smokers. Cigarette polonium 2 10 cannot be excreted. It can enter blood vessels and cause pathological changes in the heart, liver and stomach. Cigarettes also contain radium 226 and lead 2 10. Radioisotopes come from mineral fertilizers. It has been found that smokers in the sixties and eighties have radioactive isotopes in their bodies. The smoke from burning cigarettes also contains carcinogens such as nitrosamines and benzopyrene. The smoke released by burning grass contains more than 3,800 known chemical substances, most of which are harmful to human body, including alkaloids such as carbon monoxide and nicotine, amines, nitriles, drunkenness, phenols, alkanes, aldehydes, nitrogen oxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compounds, hydroxyl compounds, heavy metal elements, organic pesticides and so on. They have a wide range of biological functions and are harmful to human body.
nicotine
Nicotine, also known as nicotine, is a colorless and transparent oily volatile liquid with a pungent smell of smoke.
Nicotine is the main source of addiction. It takes only 7.5 seconds to inhale nicotine from cigarette smoke to reach the brain, which makes smokers feel a mild and pleasant feeling, which can make the central nervous system excited first and then inhibited. The half-life of nicotine in plasma is 30 minutes. When nicotine is below a stable level, smokers will feel fidgety, unwell, nausea and headache, and they are eager to smoke to supplement nicotine.
△ 1 Nicotine in cigarettes can kill 1 mouse. △ Nicotine in 25 cigarettes can poison a cow. △ 40-60 mg of pure nicotine can poison a person.
The content of nicotine in cigarettes varies with the quality of tobacco leaves and processing technology. Generally, each cigarette contains 1.5-3 mg. When smoking, about 25% of nicotine is destroyed by burning, 5% remains in cigarette butts, 50% diffuses into the space, and only 20% of nicotine is really absorbed by the human body, so some people will not be poisoned if they smoke a box of cigarettes a day. However, the stimulation and damage of nicotine to many human organs are increasing day by day.
△ Nicotine can cause stomach diseases such as stomach pain; △ Nicotine can cause high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat and even arrhythmia, and induce heart disease;
△ Nicotine damages bronchial mucosa and causes tracheitis; △ Nicotine poisons brain cells and can cause central nervous system symptoms of smokers; △ Nicotine can promote the formation of cancer.
carbon monoxide
This is a colorless and odorless gas. People often say that gas poisoning means carbon monoxide poisoning.
The affinity of carbon monoxide with hemoglobin is 250 times higher than that of oxygen. When people inhale more nitric oxide,
Smoking is harmful to health.
During carbonization, carbon monoxide combines with hemoglobin to form a large number of carbonized hemoglobin, while oxygenated hemoglobin is greatly reduced, resulting in hypoxia in tissues and organs, which in turn damages many organs such as brain and heart.
Each cigarette can produce 20-30 mg of carbon monoxide when burning. If many smokers gather in crowded and unventilated rooms, the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air can reach 0.05%, which is close to the concentration of gas poisoning.
The hemoglobin concentration of normal people who don't smoke is about 0.5%, while that of heavy smokers is as high as 15%-20%. That is to say, 15%-20% hemoglobin loses the function of transporting oxygen, leading to hypoxia.
Smoke tar
It is a brown sticky resin, commonly known as "smoke oil". Smoke tar contains many carcinogens. Moreover, it will adhere to the surface of the trachea, bronchi and alveoli of smokers, causing physical and chemical stimulation and damaging the respiratory function of the human body.
benzopyrene
Benzopyrene is a strong carcinogen, which still exists in coal, oil and natural gas, but can be diluted by the atmosphere, while benzopyrene in cigarettes is directly inhaled or diffused indoors by smokers, with a high concentration. Burning a pack of cigarettes can produce 0.24-0.28 micrograms of benzopyrene. According to the survey results, every time the content of benzopyrene in the air increases, the incidence of lung cancer will increase by 5%- 1μg/ 1 000m3.
Radioactive substances Cigarette smoke contains two radioactive isotopes, lead 2 10 and polonium 20 1, which can be inhaled into the lungs and deposited in the body when smoking. They emit radiation continuously for a long time, damaging lung tissue.
A person who smokes 20 cigarettes a day inhales the radiation of radioactive elements in one year, which is equivalent to 300 X-ray chest films taken by smokers 1 year.
Irritating compound
Tobacco smoke contains a variety of irritating compounds, including hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde and acrolein. For example, 1 filter-free cigarettes can produce 45 micrograms of acrolein and 100-400 micrograms of hydrogen cyanide, which destroys bronchial mucosa and weakens the function of alveolar macrophages, making the lungs and bronchi vulnerable to infection.
Harmful metal
Tobacco contains harmful metals such as arsenic, mercury, cadmium and nickel. Taking cadmium as an example, its harm is that △ cadmium can accumulate in the body, causing asthma and emphysema. △ Trace cadmium will kill sperm in vas deferens and affect fertility. △ A large amount of cadmium enters the bone tissue, which makes the bone decalcified, deformed and brittle and prone to fracture. 1 cigarette contains cadmium 1-2 micrograms, of which 5% is absorbed by human body.
Other harmful substances
Tobacco also contains many harmful components, such as carcinogens-dimethyl nitrosamine, methyl ethyl nitrosamine, diethyl nitrosamine, nitrospyrrolidine, hydrazine, vinyl chloride, urethane and so on. Cancer-promoting substances-methyl ethyl phenyl alcohol, fatty acids, etc.
The harmful components in tobacco smoke can be called a terrible cold-faced killer. Every smoker should be vigilant, quit smoking as soon as possible and choose health.
harm
According to scientists, tobacco contains hundreds of complex chemical components, most of which are harmful to human body. Among them, 40 kinds of tar, nicotine, phenols, alcohols, acids and aldehydes are toxic and carcinogenic. After the cigarette is lit, the smoke produced contains all the chemical components in tobacco, and at the same time, it also adds some harmful substances to tobacco itself, such as carbon monoxide and cigarette tar. This is because in the process of making cigarettes, in addition to the tobacco itself, some substances such as cocoa, licorice, sugar, glycerol and ethylene glycol are added to the raw materials. Although these additives are harmless in themselves, they have changed during combustion. For example, when the back of a mouse is coated with smoke oil produced by cocoa burning, skin tumors will grow. Glycyrrhizic acid in licorice. After combustion, it can be combined with other components to generate carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. When sugar is burned with tobacco, the tar content increases, and the products of sugar combustion are important carcinogens in tobacco. After burning, substances such as glycerol and ethylene glycol may not only make smokers suffer from bladder cancer, but also produce acrolein, which inhibits the discharge of tracheal and ciliary secretions from the lungs, thus increasing the chances of suffering from tracheitis and emphysema and aggravating the conditions of people suffering from these two diseases.
Nicotine in cigarettes is the most abundant and toxic, and adults can die if they ingest 50 mg. France has
Tobacco brand
A group held a smoking competition. A champion smoker smoked 60 cigarettes in a row and died of poisoning before winning the prize. Nicotine is also the chief culprit of cardiovascular diseases.
The content of benzopyrene in 1000 cigarettes can be as high as 122 micrograms, and domestic cigarettes are no exception. If a person smokes more than 20 unfiltered cigarettes every day, he can inhale more than 700 micrograms of benzopyrene every year. This figure is sometimes higher than the amount of benzopyrene inhaled by everyone from urban polluted air every year. Many investigation reports believe that smoking is an important reason for the increase of lung cancer in urban residents. Through population epidemiological investigation, it is estimated that the risk of lung cancer death of smokers is about 8 ~ 15 times that of non-smokers. In some occupations, such as workers exposed to asbestos and uranium mines, smokers are at greater risk of lung tumors than non-smokers. Lung cancer is related to smoking and benzopyrene pollution, which has been confirmed by many scientific research data. There are carcinogens in cigarette smoke, besides carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene, there are nitrosamines and azo impurities. Three diseases that threaten human life and health: cerebrovascular disease, heart disease and cancer are all related to smoking. These three diseases are the three major causes of human death. It can be seen that it is an urgent problem to strengthen research and eliminate the environmental factors of these diseases.
There are reports of acute poisoning death caused by smoking at home and abroad. There are also cases in China where people who smoke too much get drunk and spit yellow water and die. So Emperor Chongzhen once ordered a ban on smoking. It is also reported abroad that a young man in the former Soviet Union smoked 1 cigarette for the first time and died after smoking 1 cigar. A 40-year-old healthy man who has been smoking for a long time in Britain smoked 14 cigars and 40 cigarettes overnight because of a very important job. He didn't feel well in the morning and died after being rescued by the doctor. A French club held a smoking competition. The winner smoked 40 cigarettes and died before receiving the prize. Other contestants are dying and go to the hospital for rescue.
So why do some people smoke a lot but not get poisoned? Many people smoke a box of cigarettes (20 cigarettes) every day, among which the nicotine content greatly exceeds the lethal dose of people, but few people die of acute poisoning. The reason is that smoking usually does not inhale all the toxic substances in cigarettes into the lungs at once. About 50% of nicotine diffuses into the air with smoke, some of which is neutralized by formaldehyde in smoke, 5% is thrown away with cigarette butts, and 25% is destroyed by burning. Smoking poisons inhaled into the body can be destroyed by about 80% after liver detoxification. In addition, most people don't smoke continuously, nicotine slowly enters the body intermittently, and long-term smoking makes the body tolerant. Therefore, although smoking heavily for a long time, acute poisoning does not occur. It is worth noting that the poison in smoke is harmful to human body gradually, and some people ignore this point.
In fact, nicotine is a bait that leads people to the grave. The real killer is the synergistic effect of carbon monoxide in smoke and various toxic substances, which is the cause of disease death. The general rule is that the higher the number of cigarettes, the greater the harm.
Medically speaking, cigarettes are not refreshing. But from a practical point of view, nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarettes can stimulate people's brains and make people feel excited, thus playing a refreshing role. But it also varies from person to person. In the previous experiments on the effects on brain cells, the subjects were all people who inhaled nicotine excessively. The recent subjects are all normal smokers, that is, people with average nicotine content in their blood. This shows that as long as nicotine in human blood has an approximate content, it can promote the release of glutamic acid in the body and increase the transmission speed between human brain cells. The results of this study suggest that human beings are expected to prepare a new drug with similar chemical structure to nicotine, which can not only eliminate the harm of nicotine addiction, but also improve the memory of nicotine. You can quit smoking and refresh yourself. At the same time, this drug is also expected to play a role in the treatment of amnesia and cerebral artery diseases in the elderly.
Air Pollution People all over the world are very concerned about air pollution, because many surveys and scientific research data prove that air pollution is an important environmental factor for the growth of people's respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases. From the source analysis of air pollution, cigarette smoke is also an important air pollution besides industrial smoke and waste gas pollution, domestic fuel pollution such as coal burning and automobile exhaust pollution. This is not only that smokers are polluting themselves, but also that non-smokers are passively polluted by cigarette smoke.
Doctors report that a puff of smoke contains 4 billion dust particles and hundreds of compounds. Including dozens of toxic substances and carcinogens. Therefore, smoking in public places and indoors is extremely harmful. If one person in the family smokes, all the men, women and children in this family will suffer and become "passive smokers". Someone investigated 9 150 non-smoking women over 40 years old and found that the incidence of lung cancer in women whose husbands smoked was significantly higher than that in women whose husbands did not smoke. Inhalation of smoke not only affects children's development, but also easily suffers from diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Especially in families with babies, if the father smokes indoors, harmful substances such as nicotine in the smoke can easily enter the brain, which will affect the child's brain development over time. The content of tar and nicotine in smoke is twice that of smokers, four times that of carbon monoxide, two times that of 3,4 benzopyrene and 50 times that of ammonia and nitrosamines. If the air is not circulated, the concentration will be higher. If the wife is pregnant, she often inhales the smoke from her husband's smoking, which will poison the fetus.
Smoking index
The calculation method is as follows:
Smoking index = number of cigarettes per day × number of years of smoking.
If you smoke an average of 20 cigarettes a day for 20 years, then your smoking index is 400. If you smoke 30 cigarettes a day, your smoking history is 15 years and your smoking index is 450. Medical scientists list people who smoke more than 400 cigarettes as "high-risk groups" of lung cancer. Therefore, during the period of 50-59 years old, lung cancer is the most common, and the incidence of lung cancer over 40 years old continues to rise.
Addiction causes
Smokers are often addicted to cigarettes, which is mainly the result of long-term effects of nicotine. Nicotine, like other anesthetics, is not suitable at first, which will cause discomfort such as chest tightness, nausea and dizziness. However, if you smoke for a long time, the nicotine in your blood will reach a certain concentration, which will repeatedly stimulate your brain and make all organs dependent on nicotine. At this time, you will become addicted to smoking. If you stop smoking, you will temporarily have so-called "withdrawal symptoms" such as irritability, insomnia and anorexia. In addition, many smokers have a psychological dependence on tobacco, thinking that smoking can refresh themselves, relieve boredom and eliminate fatigue. Therefore, smoking addiction is getting bigger and bigger.
In fact, heroin addiction is different from heroin addiction. The former can be completely quit, and the key is to quit psychological dependence on tobacco. This psychological dependence leads to a behavioral dependence of smokers, which makes smokers find it very difficult to quit smoking, which invisibly increases the difficulty of quitting smoking.
According to the survey, the main reasons that lead people to smoke are:
First, social needs;
The second is the influence between friends;
Third, if you are too tired from work and smoke, you can relax;
Fourth, often stay up late, smoking can refresh you;
Fifth, driven by curiosity, but addicted;
Sixth, the influence of smoking on other family members and self-image orientation.

Smoking is harmful to health
It has become an accepted fact that smoking is harmful to health. It is understood that cigarettes contain more than 1400 components. There are more than 40 carcinogens in the smoke produced by smoking, and there are more than 10 substances that can promote the development of cancer, among which nicotine, carbon monoxide and other metal compounds are the most harmful to human body. Relevant medical research shows that smoking is a behavioral hazard factor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other diseases, and smoking has become the second largest global killer after hypertension.
Some data show that the incidence of lung cancer, laryngeal cancer, coronary heart disease, circulatory system and trachea is higher than that of non-smokers by 10 ~20 times, 6~ 10 times, 2~3 times, 3 times and 2~8 times respectively. Passive smoking is more harmful, and the average daily passive smoking 1 hour is enough to destroy arterial blood vessels. Some women who live with smokers are six times more likely to develop lung cancer than ordinary people.
Among the population aged 0/5 in China/KLOC, 60% of men and 4% of women smoke. Every year, 5 million smokers in the world die of smoking-related diseases, including1.2000 in China.
According to statistics, if it is not controlled, this number will reach120,000 by 2020.
Therefore, according to the data provided by the World Health Organization, although the tobacco industry has always claimed that the employment and tax revenue brought by this industry have made great contributions to the world economy, its contribution to the economy is far from enough to offset its losses to household expenses, public health, environment and national economy. Therefore, the World Health Organization has listed tobacco epidemic as the most serious public health problem in the world and as a key control area.
There are 1 smoker in every four people, accounting for 1/3 of the global smokers.
China is not only a big country in tobacco production, but also a big country in tobacco consumption. According to statistics, China's tobacco output is equivalent to the sum of the other seven largest tobacco producing countries. China sells/kloc-0.6 trillion cigarettes every year, and China people consume about one-third of the world's cigarettes. In 20 12, there were about 320-360 million smokers in China, accounting for about13 of the total number of smokers in the world. That is to say, one in four people in China is a smoker.
It is understood that the epidemiological survey of smoking behavior in 1996 shows that the smoking rate of people over 15 years old is 37.6%, of which the smoking rates of men and women are 66.9% and 4.2% respectively. Comparing the results of the two surveys with the data of the 2000 census, the smoking rate of the population in 2002 decreased by 65,438+0.8% compared with 65,438+0.96, and the smoking rates of men and women decreased by 3.65,438+0% and 65,438+0.0% respectively. However, due to population growth and aging, the number of smokers still increased by 30 million compared with 1996. The survey results show that in 2002, the smoking rate of people over 0/5 years old in China was 35.8%, of which the smoking rates of men and women were 66.0% and 3. 1% respectively.
Behind the huge population of smokers, the trend of younger smokers in China has intensified. Compared with the 1980s, the average age of starting smoking decreased from 22.4 to 19.7.
Recently, the China Association on Smoking and Health 10 anniversary celebration was held. It is reported that the smoking population in China is getting younger, and the smoking rate among teenagers is rising, with the number of smokers reaching 50 million. Experts call for: Keep teenagers away from tobacco hazards.
China's tobacco control has a long way to go.
Due to the high tax revenue and profits brought by the tobacco industry in China and the prominent health and safety problems in the tobacco industry, the tobacco control situation in China is extremely complicated.
Since the late 1980s, China has started the tobacco control movement. Since then, restrictions on tobacco advertising, adolescent smoking and smoking in public places have been introduced one after another. However, smoking still happens frequently in restaurants, offices and other public places today because tobacco control regulations are not binding.
In 2003, China officially moved closer to the world on the issue of tobacco control. First of all, the China Municipal Government formally signed the International Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (hereinafter referred to as the Convention), and in the same year, it established the National Tobacco Control Office, which belongs to the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention. As the most direct tobacco control department at the central government level, it is responsible for training smoking cessation doctors, organizing smoking cessation competitions, investigating smoking and various anti-smoking publicity activities.
Since 2005, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control has come into force in China, and most of its provisions are aimed at restricting tobacco production and consumption. Most advertisements, promotions and sponsorships are prohibited or restricted by the government. Whether to encourage others to smoke directly or indirectly will become the main criterion, and the publicity channels of domestic tobacco enterprises will be further restricted. In addition, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control stipulates that cigarette packaging must be printed with a smoking warning not less than the packaging area 1/3, which will inhibit consumers' desire to buy and weaken the image tension of cigarette brands. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control also requires tobacco companies to disclose the composition and release amount of their products to the government, which will increase the huge cost and competitive pressure of domestic tobacco companies.
The implementation of various laws and regulations shows that the government attaches great importance to tobacco control. However, some insiders pointed out that China's tobacco control action is only in the initial stage. China's legislative capacity, policy formulation and tobacco control skills are still insufficient. It is understood that taking tobacco control skills as an example, many medical schools abroad involve a lot of tobacco control content in the training of medical students. Medical and health service institutions will provide the public with a wealth of smoking control courses or guidelines, and set up smoking cessation clinics extensively. But these have yet to be perfected in China.
Creating a smoke-free environment, citizens call for smoking ban
"Creating a smoke-free environment" is the theme of World No Tobacco Day in 2007, in which "smoke-free" has been called for many years, but the effect has not been very significant. However, tobacco control in public places has always been a matter of great concern to many citizens.
The reporter found in a random interview with Tianhe City Plaza in Guangzhou that nearly 80% of the citizens think that smoking should be banned in public places to prevent more non-smokers from becoming victims of "second-hand smoke". There are still a small number of citizens holding a wait-and-see attitude. They think it is difficult to ban smoking in public places, and I am afraid it is difficult to really implement it.
Applause in public places where smoking is prohibited.
The reporter visited a number of crowded public places in the city to understand the tobacco control situation in Guangzhou and the public's reaction.
The reporter saw that there are obvious "No Smoking" signs in large shopping malls, hospitals, subways and buses, and few citizens smoke openly in these places. However, there are many smokers in bus shelters, parks and other places.
Many people are in favor of banning smoking in public places. Ms. Li, who works as an office clerk in a foreign trade company in Guangzhou, is a strong opponent of secondhand smoke. To Ms. Li's annoyance, she has to be poisoned by second-hand smoke in the office every day. Because there are three smokers among my colleagues, they smoke in the office every afternoon. Due to the face between colleagues, Ms. Li Can persuaded her several times before accepting it. Therefore, Ms. Li is a loyal supporter of smoking ban in public places. She believes that everyone's behavior in public places should not endanger the health of others, and smoking should be banned in public places.
Mr. Chen told the reporter that the company forbids smoking in the office area, and the balcony on the floor where the company is located has become a good place for many male colleagues to relieve their addiction. "Personally, smoking can relieve great work pressure, but I don't want to affect other people's health, but I don't want others to interfere with my behavior." Mr. Chen said, "So whenever the addiction comes, I will go to the balcony to smoke, killing two birds with one stone." The public welcomes the ban on smoking in public places, but some citizens have reservations about the final effect of the ban, and Mr. Zhang is one of them.
He said smoking in public places was imperative. However, Mr. Zhang is worried. The slogan "No smoking in public places" has been shouted for many years. In fact, many people still smoke in public places such as restaurants. "Specially set up a' smoking area' in public places to allow smokers to smoke in a certain area. It can not only give smokers a place to enjoy, but also reduce the victims of second-hand smoke and give everyone a fresh air environment. "
Tobacco brand
The emergence of cigarette brands
At the beginning of this century, after it was introduced to China from Britain, America, Germany and Japan, people called it "cigarette painting", "cigarette painting" or "cigarette painting". Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places call it "cigarette brand". In the north, people think it is imported, so they call it "foreign painting", "foreign film" or "foreign painting". Some places are called strange, called "savage head" and "foreign devil". Guangdong and Hong Kong are even more strange, called "cigarette doll paper".
The earliest cigarette brand
Although the history of cigarette brands is only 100 years, there is no detailed written record of its development process, which is generally known from the old population. When cigarettes first appeared, they were all soft bags, without hard box devices. Later, cigarette factories found it inconvenient for smokers to carry and store, so they lined it with a thick layer of paper and made the cigarette shell quite hard, so that smokers could put it in bags to keep the integrity of cigarettes. This paper is the prototype of cigarette brand. Later, the cigarette factory printed people, landscapes, animals and plants on one side of the paper (the other side was blank), which formed the original cigarette brand.
The earliest cigarette brand in the world is the "World Army" produced by British Wells 1894, also known as "Buma Army", *** 100. Foreign businessmen came to China to operate cigarette brands, and American Citigroup was the earliest. Blackmus brand Ximei cigarette brand printed by it is the thickest among cigarette brands. In the brand of fragrant cigarettes, the thick paper can be an early product. Generally speaking, the thicker the paper, the earlier it is.
1886, American Damei Tobacco Company entrusted Shanghai Jinlong Foreign Company to distribute its cigarettes. The brand number is Pinhai, also known as "nail brand" and "old brand", and the price is 28 pieces per package. Each packet of cigarettes is accompanied by a manual (cigarette brand), printed in Chinese on one side and English on the other, which says, "If someone smokes the remaining Pinhai cigarettes, the number of empty boxes is 50. This album is a small book of Pinhai, which contains 12 pages of basic scheme, graphic comparison and praise. One is printed on the left and right corners, and the color is gorgeous. The content is about the whole process of tobacco production in the company. This set a precedent for cigarette giveaways.
Domestic cigarette brands
The earliest cigarette brands in China were Beijing Elephant Tobacco Company, Yingkou Fukou Tobacco Company and Shanghai Samsung Cigarette Co., Ltd. before 1904. 1904 In order to resist foreign cigarettes, Shanghai Samsung Cigarette Co., Ltd. opened the first tobacco company in China in Shanghai. The set of monochrome 32 "Paijiu" printed by it has no foreign language, which can be said to be the originator of domestic cigarette brands. Soon, Beiyang Tobacco Company appeared in the north and Guangdong Nanyang Tobacco Company opened in the south. Subsequently, large and small tobacco companies have mushroomed, with about 400 in Shanghai alone. At that time, the countryside was full of counterfeit products made of local products and hand-rolled like foreign cigarettes, so many smokers only believed that fragrant cigarettes with cigarette brands were the products of authentic cigarette factories, so with the development of cigarette companies and the favor of smokers, cigarette brands emerged in large numbers.
The demise of cigarette brands
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the currency depreciated every day, and the money recovered from selling cigarettes today can't be bought back tomorrow. In addition, the cost of printing cigarette brands is very high, which is difficult for cigarette manufacturers to maintain. In order to reduce costs, cigarette factories have stopped printing cigarette brands. The last domestic cigarette brand is a set of 80 cigarettes produced by Shanghai Yuhua Tobacco Company (Figure 4). As for Britain, the United States, Germany, Japan and other countries, after the outbreak of World War II, the printing of cigarette brands has long stopped because printing tools were used to print war propaganda materials.
Photo attached 1994 cigarettes produced by Hangzhou Cigarette Factory. On the front, there are patterns such as "paintings in the Forbidden City", "Ming and Qing Dynasties", "Dragon and Phoenix Jade", "Ancient Pottery Bottle", "Landscape Oil Painting" and "Opera Mask". 65438 per set.
conclusion
Although cigarette factories have stopped producing cigarette brands, some small pictures printed by non-cigarette production enterprises, publishing houses and book companies are attracting business everywhere, such as the pictures of "birds" of Guanshengyuan Food Company, "animals" of Anju Pharmacy, "big head dolls" of xiang tang Company in China, and "Three Kingdoms" of Xinhua Book Publishing House. The difference between cigarette brands and cigarette brands is that the latter has the name of cigarette company or cigarette factory on the back, while the former has the name of smokeless company or cigarette factory. As for the small picture sold in the market without the name of the printing unit, it is not a cigarette brand. In recent years, counterfeit and genuine cigarette brands have appeared in the market. The first collector is easily deceived and should be identified.
