Description Machines are typically used in the tobacco industry to cut, fill, and package cigarettes. Tobacco is cut with a machine called a slicer, which cuts off the stems and then cuts the leaves into strips. Once the tobacco is cut, it is then put into a filling machine that uses a plunger to compress the tobacco into the paper tube. The filled cigarettes are then put into a packaging machine, which places a pre-printed paper wrap around the cigarette and nails it shut.
