'''Smart''' (alternative name: ''Smart Export'') is an [Austria](/source/Austria)n brand of [cigarette](/source/cigarette)s, 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](/source/Nicotiana). 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](/source/Graphic_designer) Heimo Lauth. His design is based on that of Emanuela Delignon (née Waha) for the precursor brand "Smart" from 1956 onwards.<ref>{{cite web|title=Die "Smart Export".

==Dissemination==
Smart still is quite a popular brand on the Austrian Market, because it is relatively inexpensive. A 20-pack of the varieties ''"Smart Export"'', ''"Smart Export White"'' and ''"Smart American Blend 100"'' cost €4.70 (As of April 2017).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/415034/cigarette-prices-across-europe/|title=Cigarette prices across Europe 2017 - UK Statistic|website=Statista|accessdate=4 June 2018}}</ref>

==Artist name==
The [avantgardist](/source/avantgarde) artist [Valie Export](/source/Valie_Export) chose her stage name very early in terms of the graphically represented ''Weltbekanntheit'' of the brand.
