Understanding Cigarette Expiry Dates

According to the World Health Organization, cigarettes gradually lose their freshness over time. The tobacco can become stale, the filter paper can weaken, and the flavor can deteriorate. To help ensure optimal quality and prevent potential health risks, manufacturers print expiry dates on cigarette packs.

Factor	Effect on Cigarettes
Time	Stale tobacco, weakened filter paper
Temperature	Increased evaporation, flavor loss
Humidity	Mold, bacteria growth

Step-by-Step Guide to Checking Cigarette Expiry Date

1. Locate the Expiry Code:

Soft Packs: Look for a small print on the bottom or side of the pack.

Hard Packs: Open the pack and check the inside flap.

2. Decipher the Date:

Numbers Only: If the code consists of only numbers, it typically indicates the production date. Subtract 18 months from this date to get the expiry date.

Letter-Number Code: If the code includes letters and numbers, the letters represent the month, while the numbers represent the year.

Letter	Month
A	January
B	February
C	March
D	April
E	May
F	June
G	July
H	August
I	September
J	October
K	November
L	December

3. Check the Freshness:

Appearance: Fresh cigarettes should have a smooth, even texture.

Aroma: They should smell strong and tobacco-like.

Taste: When smoked, they should burn evenly and provide a satisfying flavor.
