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.

golden virginia is one of the finest rolling tobacco i tried by now, unfortunately there is not so much of it on sale here in serbia. Most common tobacco in sale are these 2 :

Here's an example of the shit you can buy in the UK:

Jesus, this shit is expensive over there. You can get a pack of decent tobacco for like a quarter of the price over here. Cigs in general have become way too expensive, fuck spending money and then giving half of them away anyway because all your friends are cheap fucks. :@ i switched over to rolling my own shit years ago - leaves+tobacco is still cheaper than a pack of smokes and it lasts for way longer, plus nobody else wants to smoke it coz i usually buy the shittiest, strongest, foulest tasting tobacco i can find. ))) People even stopped asking me to spare some when they're rolling a joint, so i must be doing it right.

I wish I could do that, but even when you buy the cheapest 12.5 pack of Cutter's choice, it's essentially the same price as Golden Virginia. I've also noticed that my rolling skills went up this summer, so go me I guess. \:@/

Re: For passionate smokers

xd im rolling only joints for about 10 years now and still it takes me around 10 minutes to do a proper one also need table, scissors, etc. i like them perfect ^^ and when it's done - lil' bit of honey on the joint to make it burn slower and smell better.

edit: but right now I have chosen new path trying to quit smoking or atleast make it less frequent.
I can't imagine not smoking weed at all in future, but atleast make it "occasional" like birthday or new years eve.

one of those tobacco products, but I'd say snus has nothing to do with smoking exept the nicotine obviously . Made in sweden mostly, there are some other countries aswell, but best is mostly from sweden

There are loose and portion snus.

Loose:

For loose snus you will need Ice tool aswell, (not a must, but will make your life alot easier xd)

Portion:

(don't let the look scare you, lol )

It's ment to be under ur lip, when in use. I really recommend trying it out !

AND, about the prices, I wouldn't say that it's lot more expensive than smoking, there are difference's in price's fa sho, but mostly you can get 1 can on 3 - 5 $, 10 cans 30 - 50 $. 1 can will last just about as long as 1 packet of cigarettes.

About health consequences, snus doesn't affect lungs as cigarettes do, snus neither lowers your fitness level (mb a little, but not even close to how much smoking does)

What the fuck. Don't you have some Ukrainians or something over there? The cheapest (and shittiest) stuff you can find here is smuggled over the border, i've made many a fruitful transaction with Belarussian, Russian and Ukrainian gentlemen over tobacco goods. ))))

I think you'd still save a lot of cash if you'd roll your cigs yourself, unless tobacco costs more than packed cigs in England, which would be severely fucked up.
