Morning 
I know this is going to end in "You shouldn't Smoke" but its too late for that.
Last night I got some rolling tobacco for a change to see how much longer it last, I normally get through about 10 cigarettes a day. How long will a bag of rolling tobacco last? 12.5grams? I'm also hoping it works out a lot cheaper too!
I also just remembered how much I suck at rolling!

12.5 grams....probably about 35/40 depending how small you do them
I moved over to rollies as I was on 20+ a day, a 50g pouch now lasts me about 2 weeks as i've cut down, and saves me about £70

This is the think the effort if rolling when you know its going to be very average sucks but I'm sure it will all come back to me!
Another bonus is it stops people poncing smokes all the time.
Also jsut found out that a friend of mine sells the 50gram bags for £8.00 so may go see him next time when I run out

50g for £8 is about the going rate around here (golden virginia). My dad gets through a pouch a week as a minimum.

Yeah its £8.00 for some lovely golden virgina. I may have to invest in one of the rolling devices. Then I can get one of those little tins to put my tobacco products in and be part of the cool crowd

I can't bring myself to smoke rollies, I know it saves loads of money but it's not quite the same and it deffo makes you like a bit (more) pikey!

I find they're too thick through a rolling amchine; they're almost the same diameter as a normal fag - I prefer them really thin but then I only smoke with a pint in my hand now

I used to smoke straights, but they dont last 5 minutes if you let other people have a couple. Much prefer the taste of a rollie to a straight, and the amount of smoke that comes off a normal fag is quite rough.
A 12.5 g pouch lasts me just over a week, I smoke about 2-5 a day, and most of the time I only smoke half a fag, really should quit but cant cut out the having a fag before work (8am) and when I get home (6pm) routine. I dont smoke in my house either so dont really smoke many when im home.

Rollies are cheaper, if i've got money i'd much prefer to buy proper ciggies! I went through smoking mainly rollies for the past month and it was making my fingers turn brown... Looked like i'd been frigging my ass all day

Good work Ben! Keep it up mate. All them going to roll UPS from straight fags to save money need to grow some balls and just stop. Save more money then.

Rollies are so much better in every way. Cheaper, contain less chemicals, last longer, etc.
Im on about 25-35 a day (awaits the "you will die" response) and for the equivalent in pre-rolled id be looking atleast £12 a day. Whereas i get cheap tobacco so it costs me like £1 a day instead.

I get through a 50g pouch in a week.
So with Rizla's and filter tips it costs probably £20 a week.
So much cheaper than smoking taylors.

a 25g pouch of Golden Virgina lasts me a week, a pack of 10 cigs would last me a day. I don't smoke al lthat much but it still saves me a lot.
