Does it cost money to go to the tobacco company to check the authenticity of cigarettes?

If you simply test the authenticity, you don't need to spend money, but you should do it in the tobacco monopoly bureau instead of the tobacco company. If you need to issue relevant authenticity certificates, you need the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau to send cigarettes to provincial tobacco testing institutions. The same test is free, but you have to pay postage for sending cigarettes.

When smokers buy cigarettes, they must go to a store with a tobacco monopoly retail license. Tobacco companies implement a "one yard" cigarette supply system, and each store has its own cigarette code.

The whole package of real cigarettes will have laser-printed codes (two rows) when they leave the warehouse. The first four digits of the second line of the code (16) are the same as the last four digits of the tobacco monopoly retail license number of this store, and the code is three-dimensional and can be felt by hand.

Other methods to check the authenticity of cigarettes:

1, logo on transparent paper

Transparent paper, that is, cigarette film, is the packaging material of cigarettes and cigarette packs, generally BOPP film, which is a special film.

True smoke: from the outside, transparent paper has high transparency, plastic film is thin and bright, and the surface gloss is good. It feels smooth, soft and elastic by hand. The film is very thin and flat, and there is cardboard inside which is very tight.

Fake cigarettes: Generally, transparent paper is poorly ground, and its transparency and smoothness are not enough. It is made of ordinary film, which is thick and not bright enough, and the wrapping paper inside is uneven. When you look at the cigarette case through the film, you will feel that the transparency is poor, and you will feel sluggish when you touch it. Touch it after opening it, and you will feel that the film is very thick and hard.

2. Identification of cut tobacco

True tobacco: Its cut tobacco has natural color, good luster and oily feeling. Because tobacco stems are not easy to burn and turn off, regular manufacturers puffed tobacco stems in the production process.

Fake cigarettes: Cut tobacco is leftover or untreated inferior products of cigarettes. In order to confuse consumers, it is usually smoked with sulfur and decolored with hydrogen peroxide. Although the cut tobacco looks like Huang Liang, careful observation reveals that the cut tobacco is dark in color and rough in surface.
