Cigarettes are a type of tobacco products. The production method is to dry the tobacco, cut it into shreds, and then roll it into a cylindrical strip with a length of about 120mm and a diameter of 10mm. When smoking, light one end and inhale the smoke with your mouth at the other end. Cigarettes were first popular in Türkiye, where local people liked to roll tobacco into newspapers and smoke it.

During the Crimean War, British soldiers learned how to smoke from the Ottoman Empire soldiers at that time, and then spread it to different places. Most cigarettes contain more than just tobacco. In 1558, sailors brought tobacco seeds back to Portugal, and then spread them throughout Europe.

In 1612, British colonial official John Rolfe planted tobacco on a large scale in Jamestown, Virginia, and started tobacco trade. Tobacco was introduced to China in the mid-16th century. The first to be introduced was sun-dried tobacco, which has been cultivated for more than 400 years.
