A carton of cigarettes typically contains 10 packs. Since each pack usually has 20 cigarettes, a standard carton holds 200 cigarettes in total. Some cartons may contain more packs, such as 20 packs for a total of 400 cigarettes, but the most common packaging is 10 packs per carton. This standard applies in many countries including the United States. So, to directly answer your question:
- Number of packs in a carton: 10 packs
- Number of cigarettes per pack: 20 cigarettes
- Total cigarettes in a carton: 200 cigarettes
This is the most common and standard size for cigarette cartons worldwide, though variations do exist depending on the brand and local regulations.
