To all smokers - never smoke past the print on your cigarette - that bit between the filter and the print is where all the rubbish is and where the danger lies. When I was smoking people used to remark at the length of my 'stubs'. However I worked for a tobacco company years ago and this was one of the first things I was told. Ann

Plus with roll ups there is nothing to stop the small strands of tobacco going down the throat, you only have to look at the filter on a cigarette. James

I sometimes used to notice my index finger nail turning a bit brown, but it never lasted long. My friend is terrible - she smokes roll ups - her hands and teeth are stained really badly - yuck - and she has an awful cough all year round - she is 35. Her poor little girl has asthma and their flat and all their things absolutely reek of smoke. I never smoked in the house, so my kids never had to suffer it. Maz. XX
