Package pack or from cigarettes is a rectangular container, mostly of cardboard, containing cigarettes. The package is designed with a protective foil, paper or biodegradable plastic, and sealed through a transparent airtight plastic film. By pulling the "puller tab", the package is opened. The hard package can be closed again after opening, while the soft package can not.
Cigarette packets often contain warning messages depending on which country they are sold.

Packet size is often set. Government agencies usually set minimum package sizes.
In Australia, the most common amount per pack is 25, although some brands have turned it into 26, the 20th second which, by law, is the minimum amount. 30, 40 and even 50 packages are also sold.
In Canada, most of the packs sold have 25 cigarettes, but packing 20 is also popular.
In many European countries, an increase in cigarette taxes can cause the quantity of cigarettes in the pack to change, to reach the same final price.
In Malaysia, the sale of packs containing fewer than 20 cigarettes is prohibited.
In the United States, the number of cigarettes in the pack must be at least 20. Certain brands, such as Export As, come in packs of 25. Over the years, half a pack of 10 (or even 14) cigarettes is usually available.
In the UK the brand is only sold in package 20, after the law of May 2017 which prohibits the sale of 10-stick package. The law also prohibits branded packaging, introducing plain green boxes. The packaging has a brand name in the base typeface, with most packages dedicated to text and photography health warnings. Vending machines sometimes issue packages containing 16 or 18 cigarettes, although the packaging dimensions are the same as equivalent packets containing 20.
Cardboard
One pack of cigarettes usually contains 10 packs, with a total of 200 cigarettes. Some cartons contain twenty packs, with a total of 400 cigarettes.

Hard package and soft package
A hard pack is the usual carton-packing style for store-bought cigarettes, consisting of relatively stable boxes. This manages to prevent squeezing a cigarette when it is stored in one's pocket or bag. The packs of hard-packed cigarettes mounted at the top were introduced in 1955 by Philip Morris.
The soft package is a box made of thin paper, usually containing 20 cigarettes. Soft packages can be considered uncomfortable because they break easily and can not be re-sealed. They offer immediate convenience because they do not have to open the package every time a smoker wants a cigarette. They require less physical 'pocket space' when fewer cigarettes are left in the pack. With the American brand, cigarettes from soft packaging are usually a few millimeters longer than their hard counterparts.
Collection package
To encourage cigarette pack collectors, some packs of cigarettes are made to present a special interest for collectors. There is a pack of cigarettes labeled "collectible".
Some brands introduce promotional packages to bypass advertising laws. An example is a limited time promotion in which a package is made from a can with the shape, purpose, and appearance of a cigarette box to attract potential buyers. They are distinguished by a unique company or very old or they are removed from the factory for some reason and consequently become scarce.
Features
Most cigarette packs have no features at all and consist of only one container full of cigarettes. However, some packs of cigarettes have been proposed which also contain empty containers to dispose of cigarette butts. This can reduce cigarette butts thrown into the road, where they pollute the environment.
