The least amount of supplies needed to roll one’s own cigarettes includes tobacco and rolling papers. However, most prefer to use equipment to aid them in rolling. These can include mechanical rolling machines and cigarette injectors (both mechanical and electric). Filters can also be added when using a rolling machine, and filter tubes are used when making cigarettes with an injector.
Rolling tobacco edit
Rolling tobacco, or cigarette tobacco, is the primary tobacco used for R Y O cigarettes. It is generally packaged in pouches. After 2009, the federal tax rate on R Y O tobacco was raised from $1.0969 per pound to $24.78 per pound. 1 This increase has caused many people to switch to using pipe tobacco to make cigarettes, since the pipe tobacco tax rate was also increased, but only to $2.83 per pound. 2
Techniques edit Backroll edit
Backroll is a widely used method for hand rolling a cigarette. The method involves inversion of the rolling paper, so that the gum strip faces the inside. Once rolled, the gum can then be licked through the paper and torn off, thus removing any excess paper. This technique was developed due to the alleged increased heat (possibly caused by additives) generated by smoking tobacco wrapped in multiple layers of paper. citation needed
Prevalence edit
R Y O has become more popular in the United States in recent years, but relatively few smokers, only 6.7%, actually roll their own cigarettes. In contrast, this rate was 15% in Canada, 22% in Australia, and 30% in the UK. 3 Reasons for this difference include the generally lower price of traditional cigarettes in most states in the US compared to Canada and Europe.
