Concept: Tobacco; smokers' articles; matches in the ncl vocabulary

Concept URI	http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/eurostat/ncl/NCL34
Preferred label	Tobacco; smokers' articles; matches
Definition	Not only are tobacco and tobacco-based products in Class 34, but items used by smokers are in this class. Because of this specialized use, items that could be classified in other classes are in Class 34 because of their use by smokers. Examples of this are matches and lighters for smokers. Both of these could be classified in Class 13 because they are incendiary in nature. However, because they are used primarily by smokers, they are in Class 34. Note that ashtrays for smokers are in Class 34. Ashtrays could be considered a household container in Class 21 or could be classified in the classes of their material compositions. However, because they are considered primarily "smokers' articles", they are properly included in Class 34 based on the Class Heading for Class 34.
