Mainstream Smoke Emissions from 'Roll-Your-Own' Loose Leaf Tobacco Sold in New Zealand analyses the smoke emissions from several ‘regular’ and ’mild’ brands of loose (Roll-Your-Own) tobacco available in New Zealand and one manufactured cigarette.
The principal conclusions are that the RYO cigarettes tested are not a safer alternative to manufactured cigarettes and that there is no consistent relationship between the ‘regular’ and ‘mild’ brand variants tested in terms of their associated hazard or risk.
