Reasons to Roll Your Own Cigarettes

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are 34.1 million cigarette smokers in the U.S. While it’s safe to say that a majority of those smokers buy packs from their local gas station or convenience store, there are plenty of people out there who roll their own cigarettes.

As experts in tobacco and tobacco products, we think roll-your-own (RYO) cigarettes are the way to go. Continue reading to learn the benefits of buying loose tobacco and rolling your own cigarettes in Rutland, VT.

You know what’s in them

The top benefit of RYO cigarettes is that there’s no mystery of what’s inside the cigarette. A pack of commercial cigarettes can contain up to 7,000 chemicals when burned, 69 of which are known to cause cancer. By rolling your own tobacco, you can rest easy knowing you won’t be inhaling acetone, formaldehyde, benzene or any of the deadly substances in a commercial cigarette.

You can control your tobacco intake

Of course, commercial cigarettes don’t just contain those harmful chemicals. They also have plenty of tobacco. But the amount of tobacco depends on the brand. That’s not the case when you roll a cigarette with RYO cigarettes. You can control the amount of loose tobacco that goes into the rolling paper.

You’re likely to smoke less

Chain-smoking a pack of Marlboro cigarettes (or any other commercial brand) is all too easy. You could easily go through a pack or more a day. One of the benefits of loose tobacco and rolling your own cigarettes in Rutland, VT is that chain smoking is nearly impossible. This is because rolling loose tobacco is a time-consuming task. Since RYO cigarettes are impossible to chain-smoke, they’re a good alternative for those trying to quit, or at least cut back.

They can promote weight loss

It’s safe to say that smoking isn’t the healthiest way to lose weight, but it can help. Tobacco and nicotine are both appetite suppressants, meaning they lower your desire to eat (or eat as much). While you can get the same appetite suppressant effect in a pack of commercial smokes, loose tobacco doesn’t have all of those nasty chemicals.

They’re more affordable

At approximately $6 per pack, purchasing commercial cigarettes can cost a habitual smoker over $2,000 each year! Loose tobacco and rolling papers—the only two things you need to RYO cigarettes—are much cheaper than a commercial pack, so you can save a bundle of money each year by rolling your own. Plus, you may be smoking less when you RYO, further helping you save your money.
