Do Cigarettes Expire?

In theory, cigarettes have no expiration date. But with time, especially when the pack is exposed to air, they do become quite stale. A brand-new, unopened pack of cigarettes has a two-year shelf life at the time of manufacture. But no matter how soon or how long after the production date, the instant you open that airtight seal, the cigarettes start to change.

Tobacco and cigarettes include oils and resins that give them moisture and freshness right after manufacture. Exposure to oxygen drives that moisture out, which causes the cigarettes to lose their freshness or expire. Additionally, it can change the way the tobacco paper burns. For this reason, used cigarettes typically burn out more quickly than fresh ones. Therefore, cigarettes don’t have a date of expiration but the quality degrades over time.
