Is rolling your own cigarettes healthier than smoking normal cigarettes?

Question

and i know smoking is bad altogether

Answer 1

No! You need to go get support so you can stop smoking, smoking destroys the lungs so you can't run and you can't breathe properly which can lead to all sorts of problems in the future. Please join a support group or try and cut back in the number of ciggarettes you smoke each day. It's never to late to stop smoking. Remember you are a powerful human being and are capable of bettering yourself. Your better than smoking I know you can quit! Get a friend or family memeber to be with you every step of the way to assist you along the way, and good luck to you my friend.

Answer 2

Keeping in mind I don't smoke myself:

I actually heard that manufactured cigarettes have additives to them to make them more addictive or something of that sort.

They say that hand rolled cigarettes are alot cheaper also. However if you roll your own, you are taking risks, because it is said that you have no filtering like regular brand names. Meaning you are inhaling more tar.

Smokers who smoke hand rolled cigarettes have been found at increased risks (as opposed to brand name smokers) with the following dieseases:
oesophageal cancer
cancer of the mouth, pharynx and larynx
lung cancer

So to sum it up, no it is not healthier.

Answer 3

maybe if you grew the plant and dried the leaves yourself but smoking will do your body harm no matter what is on the stuff you're smoking. you can grow the plant quite easilly... many nurseries sell them as garden plants because they have a unique horn shaped flower: Nicotiana tabacum is the latin name otherwise known as "Tobacco Plant". When the plant reaches about 3 feet, the leaves will be about the size of romaine lettuce leaves... just pick them off and hang them upside down from a clothes line (so they dry with the "sap" still in the leaf). When they're the color of a cigar, shred the leaf as small as you can, find a rolling paper and a lighter and voila! you have a poor man's cigarette without all the tar, benzene and other crap the tobacco giants put on their leaves to hook you faster. When you're in control of growing it, you can choose to grow it "organically" without pesticides and herbicides. HA! Organic cigarettes... that seems like an idea!

There is no safe cigarette. no difference in the two.

Philip Morris USA agrees with the overwhelming medical and scientific consensus that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and other serious diseases in smokers. Smokers are far more likely to develop serious diseases, like lung cancer, than non-smokers.

No. But it is much cheaper. There are filtered pre-made cigarette sleeves for home rolling.

Only slightly, The tobacco is from the outer part of the leafs with less of the stems
