         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the pull comprises an interactor designed to move the at least one cigarette into the offering position. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the pull comprises a pull strip designed to pull the at least one cigarette into the offering position.   
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the pull comprises a pull strip which comprises a material selected from cardboard, plastic, metal, aluminium and/or paper. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the pull is attached to the inner liner.   
     
     
         6 . The device according to claims wherein the pull is attached to a removal portion of the inner liner. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the pull is attached to the inner liner with an adhesive.   
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the pull is integral with the inner liner.   
     
     
         9 . The device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the pull comprises   a first portion extending from the inner liner substantially parallel to a longitudinal extension of the cigarette, and   a second portion extending at least partially across a rod end side of the Cigarette.   
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the pull comprises a pull strip, and wherein, in a packed position of the cigarette, the pull strip is substantially L-shaped. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the inner liner comprises   a first portion comprising the pull, and   a second portion enclosing a further part of the plurality of cigarettes,   wherein the first portion is separable from the second portion by a perforation.   
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 8 ,
 wherein the pull, which is integral with the first portion of the inner liner, is attached to the second portion by a perforation.   
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional dimension of the pull is less than or substantially equal to a cross-sectional dimension of the cigarette. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the pull interacts with the cigarette by a frictional contact area provided at a surface of the pull facing the cigarette, wherein the frictional contact area is formed by a surface material selected from the group of velvet, Yupo Tako, soft touch varnish or lacquer and/or floc-coating.   
     
     
         15 . The device according to  claim 14 ,
 wherein the pull comprises a further surface facing away from the cigarette that provides a coefficient of friction substantially lower than a coefficient of friction of the frictional contact area.   
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the pull comprises at least one side wall for stabilization.
