Smoking is bad for your health.

Hello dear friends!

Smoking is bad for your health.

I have a hobby that is collecting various antiques. A little story: last year I was given a house in the village, in which many different things remained. I immediately started going through them. One of the most interesting finds was a box containing cigarettes produced in the mid-twentieth century.

Cigarettes are tobacco products made from yellow fermented tobaccos. Cigarettes in the 50s consisted of a cartridge case, the part of which, not occupied by the mouthpiece, is called a trigger. The latter was filled with a mixture of aromatic and skeletal cut into fibers.

This is certainly not a picture of a forgotten artist, but I know one thing: cigarettes of that time are almost impossible to find. So, friends, I decided to hold a small photo session of packs of cigarettes and share photos with you.

This is approximately how the packs of cigarettes lay in the box. Here's a gift I found in my collection. Now the most important thing is to keep them in good condition, since paper requires more attention than, for example, silver or porcelain items.

A few more words about the place of release of cigarettes, it is very long. These are the cities of Kiev, the cities of Belarus, as well as Moldova, St. Petersburg and Moscow. One pack from India.

All health and profit.
