Smokers lung cancer


Think that the package cigarette you may have every day (several times, in many cases) is weaker than a hand-rolled cigarette?

Think again, according to a new lung cancer study out of Norway.


The study found that smokers of hand-rolled cigarettes run a greater risk of developing lung cancer compared to those that smoke manufactured cigarettes. In Norway, one-third of tobacco sales are used for self-made cigarettes, which is an unusually high amount among civilized countries.

Although Norwegian citizens who smoke may smoke less in terms of quantity, the quality is worse for their health due to so much smoking being done with haand-rolled cigarettes, said the study.
