cigarette_box -> cigarette_carton

BUR #4740 has been rejected.

create alias cigarette_box -> cigarette_carton

They are referred to as cigarette cartons and not boxes, which might encourage more users to instead tag them correctly. Maybe I'm being pedantic.

The term I'm most familiar with is "pack." A small box of cigarettes is a pack of cigarettes. A box of packs is what is referred to as a "carton" of cigarettes.

I'd be opposed to this alias because of the fact that what is under cigarette box are packs, and not cartons.

Going off of Renim's point, I would be in favor of an alias involving cigarette pack, as that's the term I'm more familiar with as well, though I'm mostly neutral on which direction it should go.

I like the idea of aliasing cigarette_box to cigarette_pack, though would it make a difference in the case of an empty packet?

It shouldn't make a difference. Even if the cigarette pack is empty, the packs are usually recognizable on their own without the cigarettes in them (Example).

I couldn't find a separate term for an empty pack.

As suggested.

There might be fancy wooden boxes with cigarettes instead of cigars that could be called cigarette box, but we can unalias it if that shows up.

We can create the tag Humidor, then write note for cigarette box about another the tag.
