How to Choose the Healthiest Rolling Papers
Choosing to smoke your carefully grown, organic, one-of-a-kind product in just any old paper is like deep-frying Kobe beef because you’re apathetic to the way it’s prepared. Not only can certain rolling papers change the taste of your product, but some are downright unhealthy as they can release harmful toxins such as bleach and other chemicals that are carcinogenic when burned into your breathing air. Most rolling papers are made from hemp, rice straw, flax, or wood pulp, but it’s the added chemicals that cause the most damage. Beware of rolling papers that are bleached or contain calcium carbonate, chlorine, or potassium nitrate, as these have been linked to respiratory issues. Take a look at some of the healthier rolling paper options available at Smokea.
