How Much Harm Different Types of Smoking Actually Bring

Self-rolled cigarettes

Self-rollers are the same cigarettes with some tiny differences between them. The fact that you collect all the stuff for your cigarette yourself doesn’t decrease the harm caused by smoking. Carbon monoxide, nicotine, and ammonia — the list of harmful elements doesn’t differ from a regular cigarette. Moreover, scientists from the University of Otago, New Zealand say that self-rollers can be even more harmful than regular cigarettes. A comparative analysis of tobacco components in regular cigarettes and self-rolled cigarettes showed that cigarettes contain about 0.5% of different harmful additives while packed tobacco for self-rollers can contain up to 18% of them.
