To make sure that all the loose tobacco that has fallen out of the cigarettes, doesn't fall out on them when they open the box.

Its to pack the tobacco in each cigarette. It makes them burn longer and keeps the tobacco from getting all over inside the pack. And I guess it looks "cool" or something.

Well, you see when they produce cigarettes, the fliter and the tobacco leaves kinda have gaps in some cases. Thus ppl tap em so they can get the tobacco more evenly when smoking it then to have the gap reducing the strength.

It is called packing. You do that so that the tobacco is pounded back up into the paper it is rolled in. They smoke better when packed.

It packs the tobbacco down toward the filter. I suppose this has some special effect, although I'm not sure, my bf does it so there isn't tobacco falling all over?

It is suppose to pack the tobacco in the cigarettes. It seems kind of silly to me. I tried it once, I didn't see a difference.

Yes, "tapping" or "packing" is supposed to help push the tobacco into the paper sleeve, therefore "packing" in down. This eliminates the excess tobacco in the bottom of the box and also tightens the tobacco in the paper, making the cigarette burn better and lessons the chance for the hot "cherry" or ash to fall loose.

Tapping the cigarette boxes packs the tobacco tighter into the cigarette paper. This causes the cigarette to burn a little slower and more evenly.

That is called packing. When the cigarettes are packaged the tobacco is loose in the paper. by tapping the pack upside down the tobacco will then fall into place better to make it easier to smoke.

It packs them tighter. If you don't, the cigarette will burn unevenly and the "hots" tend to fall off more often creating a possible fire hazzard. The cigarettes also smokes better.

I don't do it. It is simply called "packing" your cigarettes and it gets all the loose tobacco in the cigarettes so they look and burn better. I am too lazy to do it. I need to quit soon.

As a former smoker, I can honestly tell you that it's for the flavor and the pull off of the cigarette. If you turn the cig's upside down an tap the box, it packs the tobacco tightly in the cig causing more flavor and better pull off of cig.
