Evaluation
What makes this project original is that it contains centuries-old history of cigarettes and thus it is an inseparable part of human history. CigarettesPedia.com sets the goal of creating a full encyclopedia of cigarettes. This site is of great interest to collectors as they can contribute images and later exchange odd cigarette packs among each other. At the same time on CigarettesPedia.com everyone can look for any information or contribute it free of charge.

Critics
Nowadays there exist a great number of special projects dedicated to the exploration of the appearance of tobacco, the impacts of tobacco on the global industry, animals, plants, health etc.
In no way doesn’t CigarettesPedia touch upon these subjects. CigarettesPedia does not make any kind of propaganda operation; the CigarettesPedia is an educational, useful and cognitive resource.
