Which Is More Dangerous?

I've heard many times, from both close family and friends, that smoking rollies, roll-ups, real tobacco cigarettes is less harmful than smoking a pack of B&H, or processed cigarettes.

So, the news that a survey by the NHS Smoking Helpline has highlighted just how many believe hand-rolled tobacco poses less risk to health than manufactured cigarettes just shows how many people believe this myth.

Rolling your own ain't any better in terms of health risk than buying a pack. If anything, it's more risky since it's cheaper, and therefore not as expensive to smoke as many as it would if you bought them ready made.

Of course, it's safer than keeping a leopard in your garden, I mean, who'd be daft enough to allow that?
