cigars vs cigarettes

I wonder if cigarettes were different back in the day before chemical additives & manufactured processing--when it was just a cowboy, some cured tobacco, and something to roll them in. Wonder if they were more akin to what we would think of as mini-cigars.

Yes, absolutely. They still can be that way if you roll your own with quality baccy. You can make your own carton for less than $20. I am firmly convinced that the tobacco doesn't kill like they say it does. It's all the crap (300+ chemicals and known carcinogens to manipulate the nicotine content) added to it that will do you in.

And as I mentioned in my other post, the carpet glue (fsc) added to the paper is mind boggling to me. There have been no studies or research on the effects of it. I get people in the store all the time complaining of massive headaches since they started it and now that they roll their own, no headaches, less coughing and less overall smoking while being more satisfied.
