Smart (alternative name: Smart Export) is an Austrian brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Austria Tabak GmbH (Austria Tobacco Company).
History
Smart was created on September 7, 1959, as a filter cigarette in Austria. By mid-1962 it became the second most popular cigarette brand in Austria and finally in 1968 it ousted the brand Austria 3 (also known as A3) from square one in terms of popularity. The "export" was itself banned in 1975 from the market.
Packaging
The design of Smart Export was created in 1959 in Austria and is attributed to tobacco plants. The black box with the white and golden strokes, the globe and the maxim "semper et ubique - always and everywhere" designed on behalf of the graphic artist Heimo Lauth. His design is based on that of Emanuela Delignon (née Waha) for the precursor brand "Smart" from 1955 onwards.
