Will cigarettes in hand luggage go straight through the x-ray machine in my bag at airports?

Question

i am going on holiday soon, i am considering taking in my hand luggage cigarettes. will it go straight through the x-ray machine or will they get taken out of my bag?

Answer 1

You should have no problems. As a former smoker, I use to carry them by the carton with me in my carry-on luggage whenever I would go on vacation and never had trouble.

Answer 2

Dont worry, you can take your cigs in your carry on, I do it all the time.  You can not take a lighter or matches though.
