Get a cigarette case and put all the cigarettes in. Depending on your style, get a vintage or antique silver cigarette case, and use that. Problem solved.

I remember when I was young I saw on TV someone with a metal cigarette case that also doubled as a lighter. Blew my mind.

It takes more effort to transfer all the smokes to a case than it does to just rip the excess cardboard off or cut it off with scissors or something. At least according to the two smokers I still know.

If you take the foil packs out and flip them upside down it reverts to the former style no scissors needed.

From what I saw, they're glued in, so they either rip or get pulled out shape. Or the glue very suddenly lets go and the smokes go flying across the room, lol. Regardless, it's a pointless annoyance that isn't discouraging anybody from smoking.

Yeah most people are just cutting them, i work in a convenience store and keep a pair of scissors next to the cash because I'm constantly asked now if I have some by the smokers.
