Smart (alternative name: Smart Export) is an Austrian brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by Austria Tabak GmbH (Austria Tobacco Company).

The "export" was itself banned in 1975 from the market.
The design of Smart Export was created in 1959 in Austria and is attributed to tobacco plants. 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 Heimo Lauth. His design is based on that of Emanuela Delignon (née Waha) for the precursor brand "Smart" from 1956 onwards. [1] [2]
