Smoking is a bad habit, everyone decides for himself whether he needs it or not. If you decide in favor of cigarettes, it is worth considering several factors in order to minimize the harm to health. Among the variety of brands and types of smoking products, it is difficult to find the right product. In the article, we will consider tips on how to choose the right option for the price and characteristics, which are the best manufacturers on the market, as well as what mistakes you can make when choosing.

History of cigarettes

Initially, tobacco was not only smoked, but also sniffed and chewed. It was available to the wealthy, but gradually the middle class also began to use it.

The first cigarettes were released in 1636, they were made from leftovers from the production of cigars. They were called “little cigars”. When production became mass, they began to think about the method of storage. Soft packs were made, on the wrappers of which the brand and quantity were indicated, later a layer of foil appeared. Over the years, the pack has undergone changes, and it came to us already dense, with a reclining top.

In Russia in the 1940s, “hand-rolled rolls” were common, when tobacco was stuffed into newsprint. So the body was affected not only by nicotine, but also by harmful substances used in printing houses. Many planted tobacco themselves, it was especially common in remote villages. Such a product was without chemical additives and various impurities.

The cigarette "boom" occurred in the 90s, when new brands began to arrive from abroad. At that time, a quality cigarette could be exchanged for anything.

Filters began to be made about 100 years ago, the main task was to minimize the ingress of tobacco particles into the mouth. Initially, the filter was paper and was inserted by the smoker himself.

Later, electronic cigarettes, vapes and liquid for cigarettes appeared, however, the popularity of disposable models is growing every year.

Types depending on the presence of the filter:

• with filter;
• without a filter.

If a person makes a choice in favor of smoking, it is worth remembering that nicotine addiction occurs even after 2-3 pieces, and getting rid of it is difficult.

Quality indicators

To give a quality assessment, pay attention to the following characteristics:

1. Quality marks. On the pack, brand marks and excise taxes of the corresponding issue are clearly visible.
2. Light traction. The cigarette smolders in the allotted amount of time and puffs. With strong traction, it will burn too quickly, with a weak one, you will have to make efforts to tighten it.
3. Pleasant aftertaste. Ideally, there is no rancid taste in the mouth, as well as unpleasant suffocating smoke after smoking.
4. Smoker's health. The presence of a cough, shortness of breath, clouding of consciousness, a coma in the throat, a white coating on the tongue indicates a poor-quality composition. The use of such a product is not permitted.
5. Appearance. There should be no bruising, wet places. The tobacco will be slightly damp, this will ensure combustion and prevent the paper from spilling out.

Criterias of choice

Recommendations on what to look for when buying:

1. Composition of the product. A pack of cigarettes contains a description of the tobacco mixture, incoming resins and other substances. Cigarette manufacturers may hide some components in the composition, so study the composition carefully. If you suspect the “dishonesty” of the company, it is better to choose another product.
2. Taste preferences. Not only classic versions, but also various flavorings have become widespread. Some smokers prefer menthol cigarettes, while others prefer citrus or wild berry flavors. To determine the best option, you can try all the types that the market offers and choose the one that suits you.
3. Where could I buy. Most models can be purchased in specialized stores or regular supermarkets. However, some options are sold only in online stores or directly from manufacturers.The functionality of such products is the same, so when buying, pay attention to how much the brand costs on different resources so as not to overpay for the seller's markup.
4. Which company is better to buy goods. Heavy smokers have their preferred brands that they use all the time. Beginners are advised to base their choice on personal preferences and feedback from friends. You can try several different brands and choose the right one. It is best to start with the lightest options, with a minimum content of tobacco mixture.
