Introduction of Hard Packs
[edit]How is it that we can have 2 sources citing the introduction of the hard cigarette pack by Philip Morris in 1955 and have a picture of a Camel hard pack from 1918?? They both immediately contradict each other.
Quetzapretzel (talk) 01:20, 24 March 2010 (UTC) That hard packet is certainly not from 1918. I have edited the page. 82.152.209.12 (talk) 16:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Catalog for collectors?
[edit]Anyone familiar with any catalogs of cigarette packs for collectors aside from http://colnect.com/en/cigarette_packs ? Is this worth mentioning in the main article?
Health warnings
[edit]How about adding a section regarding the health warnings which are now so prevalent on cigarette packs? Some review of the history of such warnings and examples could be an interesting addition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.199.130.108 (talk) 05:16, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Plain Tobacco Packaging
[edit]there's a sentence in this section existing since this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cigarette_pack&diff=874801015&oldid=874794074 "In general, young people told that plain packaging reduced the positive image of smoking...." and in more recent edits, "...young people told that plain packaging reduces the positive image of smoking and the possibility of stimulus related to the package design." these sentences are grammatically incomplete (essentially missing the verb portion) and provide little real information as the reader is left guessing what it means. perhaps it means to say something about the young people who are told (that plain packaging reduced the positive image)? or should it read "young people ARE told..."? that would still not be saying much as we don't know who's telling this to them, why, or what relevance it has. 206.248.138.242 (talk) 01:56, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Sideways Opening Packs
[edit]A variation on the hard pack; instead of a flip-top the inner part with the ciggies in it slides out sideways. I've only ever encountered with Players bought from a petrol station in Dease Lake BC after running out of duty-free but I'm sure they must be more widespread.

Size of a pack?
[edit]So when we read (for example) of Marty Feldman 'smoking four or five packs daily', that means 80–100 ciggies? I seem to remember 10-packs from the days of my youth (circa 1960s), although personally I didn't smoke. Just trying to clarify… Paul Magnussen (talk) 06:20, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
