These puff cigarettes are the perfect prop for a theatrical production where the script calls for the actor to smoke onstage and either the actor doesn't smoke, is too young to really smoke or fire marshall regulations prohibit smoking. The cigarettes look realistic. care should be taken to keep them off stage in a sturdy box  when not in use to protect them as they could be crushed rather easily, but if the actor and prop master takes proper care , one should easily last the run of a 3 week production.
