Roll Your Own Cigarettes
Disclaimer
To start with, this article is intended for people over the age of 18, or whatever age legal majority starts in your area. It is not meant to promote smoking, or to encourage any non smoker to begin smoking. It is a potentially harmful habit that carries a level of risk somewhere between working in a garage and actually driving.
If you do already smoke though, and don't intend to quit, I would like to strongly encourage you to consider rolling your own. The hand rolled cigarette or "zig-zag" has come a long way since the old days.
R.Y.O.
The best reason I can think of to start rolling your own is because the vast majority of pre-packaged cigarettes aren't really just tobacco. Most people who smoke them think they're smoking a real cigarette, but what they're getting is a *censored*tail of chemically treated paper, solvents, and only a fraction of it is tobacco. It's usually tobacco of such a low quality that it should embarass the manufacturers.
