Ive heard rumors that the tobacco people have been sending a member of the Liquor Institute around to see people on the Hill on their behalf, a lawyer close to the action told me not long before the House was preparing to vote on the cigarette bill
One 25-year-old man, Sam, told an Otago University research group: Theres something nice and relaxing about rolling your own as opposed to just pulling one out of the packet, the sortve process of it is quite enjoyable and also the whole sortve ritual just around smoking in general, like sit down and have a coffee, have a cigarette sorta thing so its ritualistic in that sense
Cellulose acetate filters (CAF) CAF are made from cellulose that is acetylated (converted to cellulose acetate), and is dissolved, and spun as continuous synthetic fibers arranged in a bundle called tow, which is plasticized, shaped, and cut to a suitable length to act as a filter.2 These filters are a rod of 12,000 fibers and, fragments of this material, it is known, they separate from it in manufacturing and are released on inhalation of the cigarette.6,7 The efficiency of CAF to remove particles from cigarette smoke is substantially influenced by the length and circumference of the filter, the number and size of the filaments, and the presence of additives in the fibers.2 The selective lack of absorption of this CAF is known except for phenol, but instead they allow cyanide and hydrogen sulphide to pass.2 Again, Pauly et al.6,7 found that the CAF fibers and glass particles were released and therefore ingested or inhaled when cigarettes were smoked
