Rollies are not a safer smoke

Some smokers believe that smoking roll-your-own tobacco is safer compared with smoking tailor-made cigarettes and around one-half of New Zealand smokers smoke mostly roll-your-own tobacco. However, roll-your-own tobacco has more nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide than tailor-made cigarettes. In two studies it was found that smokers of roll-your-own cigarettes are more at risk of developing a range of cancers compared with smokers of tailor-made cigarettes.

Hot off the press - new New Zealand study shows how toxic rollies are.
