How to Make My Own Herbal Blend Cigarettes
Many people believe that smoking herbs instead of tobacco is a healthier choice. This is only half true. Herbal cigarettes that contain no tobacco lack the nicotine content, and thus are slightly less addictive. But the tar is still present, and this is what makes cigarettes so dangerous to your health. You can buy herbal cigarettes on the market today, but these often contain tobacco, sometimes as much as 60 percent. If you want a purely herbal cigarette, your safest bet is to make one yourself. It's not hard, and you can roll them as large or small as you want. Does this Spark an idea?
