rolling tobacco

handrolling bakkie is perhaps marginally cleaner but I wudnt base your judgement on that. Smoking is bad so I only smoke socially and when im blazing, I do LOVE the act of rolling a fag though, drum ble all the way!

it would depend on the tobacco i guess... i'm sure there's some all natural rolling tobacco out there somewhere... but i'm guessing it goes through the same things tobacco goes through to be rolled in companies...

and if you roll without a filter, it's definately more harmful to roll your own then through the cig companies.

I can't smoke the cheap ones. After a half a pack, my throat and lungs start hurting way to bad. I'm thinking USA Gold and Doral's here.

dorals are actually better then what i smoke... i smoke shit tha'ts so cheap it makes doral seem like marlboro lol... they're called golden beach and ONLY sold in texas and flordia (lol? i dunno, but it's on the side of the pack, so i know tha'ts true...)

how much do thos golden beaches run you

I can't really say as I'm not too familair with that brand, but I used to hand roll (when I could) my own tobacco smokes. I bought Players Light, and they came in taylor made style too, and the contents in the tobacco were pretty damn close in "mg" that the taylor made ones, so yes, they would probably be just as bad, maybe worse.

Filters do contain fiberglass, but, without that filter, there is nothing to lessen the intake of all the other additives in the tobacco. A filter, filters some of those out, not completly, but reduces it, for a smoother smoke. No filter, is 100% intake of all the additives.

All you have to do is look at your buddys ingredient list on his pouch of baccy, and compare it to a similair brand of taylor mades.

If it is pipe tobacco though, some brands are additive free I believe, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'm pretty sure the government is involved with any, and every tobacco distributer out there. I can't see someone making money from tobacco without the government wanting a nice slice.

All in all though, is lighter tobbacco better for you than heavy or moderate tobacco? I don't think so. Tobacco is tobacco, nicotine is nicotine, and carbon monoxide is carbon monoxide, and so on. It's all bad for you in the end, so there is no safer tobacco out there.

I eventually started doing that too, and it's probably 20% cheaper to roll your own.
