Does High Temperature in the Car Affect Cigarettes Left Inside?

[Andres]

Storing them in a place without direct sunlight for a day or two is fine. The longer they are left, the worse the taste becomes, as cigarettes contain a certain amount of moisture. If exposed to prolonged heat, the moisture will completely evaporate, naturally altering the flavor. Some cigarettes may become stiff and dry to the touch when the packaging is opened, indicating improper storage. While storing tobacco in a car isn't problematic per se, the high temperatures inside can cause the tobacco to lose moisture and change its taste. Dehydrated and heat-exposed tobacco may also absorb odors from the car over time. Methods for storing cigarettes in hot weather: In high temperatures, cigarettes are prone to changes due to environmental and temperature variations, resulting in a less fresh taste. Cigarettes should not be stored in sealed plastic bags for extended periods but rather in cool, dry, and ventilated areas, ensuring proper airflow to prevent spoilage and flavor degradation. Unopened cigarette packs can be stored in a cool, ventilated, and dry environment for 1-2 years without issue. If wrapped in cling film or placed in a professional tobacco preservation box and stored in a refrigerator, cigarettes can remain fresh for 5-10 years without expiring.
