Stage Cigarette Props for Theatre, Film & Live Performances
Most theaters, film sets and live venues do not allow real cigarette smoking. However, many productions still require the visual appearance of smoking as part of a performance.
A stage cigarette prop provides a professional solution. Designed for theater, film and TV, it replicates the look and behaviour of a real cigarette. When the performer inhales, the tip lights up and a visible effect is produced — creating a realistic smoking effect without ash, smoke smell, fire risk or the restrictions associated with real cigarettes.

How It Works
