Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010143036A1] Packaging solutions for breakable cigarettes are provided. The packaging solutions include cigarettes boxes (200) containing breakable cigarettes (268) that are separable into two separate cigarette packs (276, 278) so that each separated pack contains portions of the original breakable cigarettes. The separated cigarette packs include closures (281, 282) which are operable into a closed position after the cigarettes have been split, thereby enclosing the cigarette portions contained within the pack. The packaging solutions also include a modular cigarette pack (320) comprising a standard flat cigarette box (322) containing breakable cigarettes (80) located within smaller than standard size cigarette boxes (338). The breakable cigarettes may be split into cigarette portions such that the resulting cigarette portions are contained within the smaller boxes which, in turn, are removable from the standard flat box.
