For passionate smokers
I've been smoking for 7 years now, and the more i smoke the more i feel my health is becoming threatened by the additives and flavors that tobacco industries are putting into their products. Without those, the pure tobacco dried leaf is not so dangerous (proof is my grandparents who used to smoke homegrown pure tobacco for their entire life and they lived for 80-90 years.Not to mention the economy factor related to smoking. The 1 kg of home made tobacco here costs 15 euros, while the pack of marlboro is ~2 euro. And 1kg of tobacco is enough to roll and smoke for 2 month. Some days ago i found on nearby flee market homegrown additive-free tobacco and bought it to try and the results were amazing. I tried to smoke it through pipe with filter made of zeolite which is made to contain the things from cigarette that is destroying our health and on the filter didn't left much of "black thing" that usually stays after smoking industrial ciggarete. So i think this is a good way for passionate smokers to save their health and money, while saying NO to industial killer corporations, and i would like to hear some opinions by passionate smokers here about this topic.

Smoking ciggarets is waste of health and money. I just don't get it, why people start to smoke, I tried when I was teenager. It litteraly stinks and I wanted to puke :E 20 years old girls addicted to cigaretts look 10 years older. Teeth, hair, skin get's fucked up quite fast. No idea how people can get addicted to ciggarets xd it's like trying to eat own poo xd it stinks, definately tastes bad, but HEY I'M COOL AND MATURE XDD
What terror said, but not so harsh.
Anyway i don't think additive free tobacco is that much cleaner.
ye, smokin isnt good!
i started to roll cigs on my own,
and it tastes much better!
i also smoke less now,
coz the selfrolled cigs are
not that thick, stiff and long!
i try to quit this way!
No. 1 TERROR!!
generally all cigarete brands i know that sell cigarets in packages alredy rolled with filter ect ect smells like cheap crap.
but i had an occasion to smoke realy good brands of tabako in pipe (flawored and not) and comparing it to cigarets is like trying to compare bule label to cheap vodka
i personally hate cigarets and dont smoke but the pipe tabaco was real good and i liked it
i started to roll cigs on my own,
and it tastes much better!
Same here ;D but i dont call them cigarettes
1-2 people you know that smoked for their whole life and died @ 90yo is not a valid point. Proof is that cancer can grow into anybody - smokers and non smokers - it's all about bad luck.
Every cell in our body is mutating in some way from time to time. Every chemical species in the world emits radiations, everything is mutagen (carbon, milk etc.) Point is that some species are way more mutagen to the human cells, like the tar resulting from the burning of carbon-made species (like tobacco leaves, or any organic substance : plants, animals etc.
For instance, oil (highly mutagen, any gas resulting from its burning is too, specially the carbon monoxide), is made of thousands of years rotten plants and animal. You won't smoke oil because you know it is toxic. Well basically tobacco is too. By saying that, you encourage people to smoke and tell them that they won't die in horrible circumstances (lung cancer could be long and painfull). They won't save their life by smoking natural tobacco, neither their money. Not only industrial tobacco companies cause death.
It's not only additives that are causing death, it's simply the tar laying on your lungs, highering the mutation rate of your lung cells. Please have a look at some pictures of people suffering from lung, throat cancer, adding the fact that it can cause malignant tumors and other cancers. Smoking does not only hit you lungs, it highers the chances to get many diseases like : throat cancer, larynx cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, stomac cancer, small intestine cancer, cardiovasculare diseases, emphysema, chronic bronchitis leading to chronic respiratory insufficiency and infarct.
Ty for sharing.
I agree the fact that today cigarettes are fireproof and the fact that it tastes worse. Those things make me really want to stop it.
But you know...too much work or pressure and your need to smoke come back. And sometimes, it's not so bad to smoke one good cigar while drinking a bottle of good wine after a hard day.
I tried an e-cig (EdSylver), it's not so bad but doesn't have the same taste. Anyway with it, you can save your health by smoking less when you are at work, for example.
Rolling tobacco has been on sale in Western Europe since the introduction from the Americas a generation after Christopher Columbus
Here's an example of the shit you can buy in the UK:
Herzegovacki domaci duvan. Translation: it is much cleaner.
