A standard pack of cigarettes typically contains 20 cigarettes. This is the most common and regulated pack size in many countries, including the United States and much of Europe
. However, pack sizes can vary by region and brand:
- In the United States, the legal minimum is 20 cigarettes per pack, though some brands offer packs of 25
- In Canada and Australia, packs often contain 25 or even 26 to 30 cigarettes
- Some countries may have packs with 10, 19, 21, or even 33 cigarettes depending on local preferences and regulations
- The UK generally sells only 20-cigarette packs since 2017 due to regulatory changes
In summary, while 20 cigarettes per pack is the global standard and legal benchmark in many places, variations exist depending on local laws, marketing strategies, and consumer demand
