Are roll-ups less harmful than ordinary cigarettes?

Question

by the way I don't smoke was just wondering...

Answer 1

Yes.
Rollies are pure chopped tobacco leaf,
cigerettes have, for example 400 chemicals in them JUST to keep them lit! And in general they have 8000 chemicals more than rolling tobacco.
You can get filters for rollies.
Rollies are worse for your teeth though!

Answer 2

If you add a filter then it will be less harmful as it will lack some of the poisons (toxic metals, etc that are in commercial cigs) but without a filter than probably more dangerous.

Just quite smoking!

Answer 3

Hand rolling tobacco is more harmful than the tobacco used in tailor made cigarettes. However, roll-ups keep going out.

Answer 4

roll-ups contain more tar than ordinary cigarettes therefore they are more dangerous to smoke. also normal cigarettes have a filter but roll-ups dont which also makes roll-ups worse as you inhale worse fumes.
but overall any cigarette are just plain bad for you so dont smoke!!!

Answer 5

I am no expert but I would say that there would be less noxious chemicals in roll ups i.e. to keep them lit like cigs.

But I would say that there will be more tar in roll ups and especially so if you do not use a filter tip.

Answer 6

yes and no. a cigerette is a cigerette. Though the "brand" name ones contain as many as 102 carcinogens and "rollies" only have about 50. less addictive properties. but who really wants to spit out the tobacco shreads from rollies??!

Answer 7

apparently so, the dont add all the preservatives to rolling tobacco like they do in taylor mades, pre made cigs contain more mg of aresnic too..now theres a scary thought..

Answer 8

The tobacco is more pure, but at the end of the day its still a cigarette!!

Answer 9

MORE!

you aint got a filter taking some of the impurities away

Answer 10

Depends if you use a filter tip, otherwise you're inhaling all the c*** that would be filtered out by a normal ciggy
