Cigarette cards are trading cards issued by tobacco manufacturers to stiffen cigarette packaging and advertise cigarette brands.

Cigarette card sets document popular culture from the era, often depicting the period's actresses, costumes, and sports, and offering insights into mainstream humour and cultural norms.
