You really should try it, for a lot of reasons. Number one being price. And then taste. Also the loose tobacco doesn't have all the extra additives in it the way manufactured cigarettes do. Because of this you will find you actually smoke less than you thought you did. Left alone in an ashtray for a short time they go out by themselves.....they don't just burn up.
When we switched about 4 years ago I could smoke at my desk at work......I went from 2 packs of store boughts a day to less than one pack of the homemades.
Also the aroma is very different, and doesn't linger. MY SIL is very sensitive to all kinds of smoke and the first time she came to visit us after we switched she thought we had quit smoking indoors because there was no smoke or tobacco odor in the house, and I had put a cigarette out not 10 minutes before she arrived.
I ordered this morning from stuff your own! I got priority shipping in hopes it'll get here about the time my present supply runs out. I'm so grateful for this wonderful idea - price wise and because I figured loose tobacco would be more "pure".
I'm sure my dh (who quit several yrs ago - he chews now) and kids will appreciate the odor reduction too. Thanks!
