When hemp cigarettes started to show up on Amazon, hemp’s mainstream moment as a consumable product arrived. The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 in the United States removed hemp from the Schedule I classification as a controlled substance. That meant hemp wellness products could be legally produced and sold.
All legalized hemp products in the United States must have 0.30% THC or lower. Anything higher than that level of THC is classified as marijuana. From hemp dietary supplements to topical creams, THC free cannabinoid tinctures, and more, it became a new wellness resource.
Hemp pre-rolls look like joints that you would buy at a medical or adult-use dispensary. However, it is virtually impossible to get a psychoactive effect after smoking a hemp pre rolls. But there are other potential wellness benefits; hemp pre-rolls may help more Americans quit smoking tobacco.
Health Risks Associated With Tobacco Use
For many years, health experts have been warning about the risk factors involved with smoking. There is now enough clinical evidence to demonstrate a strong link between smoking and certain types of cancers. And severe respiratory diseases.
In addition to lung cancer, asthma, and emphysema, other chronic diseases can be caused by smoking. In fact, the CDC reports that more than 16 million Americans live with a disease caused by smoking. And for every individual that dies from a smoking-related illness, there are thirty (30) more in the United States living with a life-threatening health problem caused by tobacco use.
Smoking substantially increases the risk of developing:
- Heart Disease
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Tuberculosis
- Eye damage and diseases
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Tooth Decay and Oral Cancers
- Osteoporosis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
If you are a smoker, does it seem like you get more bacterial infections or viruses than people who don’t smoke? It is no coincidence. Smoking substantially reduces the strength of the immune system. That is one reason why smokers are also at a higher risk of contracting the Novel Covid-19 Coronavirus.
Why Smoking May Be the Hardest Addiction to Break
The advice to smokers is “don’t quit quitting until you quit for good.” That acknowledges how difficult it is to kick the habit. You see, smoking is more than just a chemical addiction to nicotine. It is a highly personal and behavioral routine that becomes part of everyday life.
People who smoke will have a cigarette first thing in the morning with their cup of coffee. They will smoke after they eat. Social smoking also becomes a habit that is enjoyed while drinking and spending time with family and friends.
And then there are the other psychologically addicting routines. When someone who smokes is feeling stress, they can’t wait to get outside and have a cigarette. After they have finished the cigarette, they feel emotionally calm. Many smokers do not realize that smoking and nicotine do nothing to calm or relax your body physiologically. It just feels that way because you have caved to your craving.
Some of it is chemical dependence and withdrawal. But the crux of the difficulty comes from missing the habit as part of their day. Smoking becomes a reaction to stress, a celebration, and sometimes the energy boost needed from nicotine.
Many people who smoke have family members in the home who smoke as well. Or family and friends who smoke. That makes it even harder to quit. Clinical studies have shown that it takes only three days for nicotine to leave your system. But on day four, or after a month, smokers still find the craving to be almost unbearable.
Does Vaping Nicotine Work?
People who are trying to quit smoking will sometimes try vaping nicotine. For a small number of smokers, it works. They do not get the same satisfaction from the draw of ‘smoke’ from the vaporizer. But they do get the nicotine. And vape juices are available in a variety of potencies. That allows someone who wants to detox to step down in terms of nicotine levels gradually.
In the past two years, medical researchers have been cautioning about the safety of nicotine vaping. A condition called “popcorn lung” can develop. The real name for the disease is bronchiolitis obliterans. A chemical compound used to flavor microwave popcorn can also be used in consumer vape products. However, Diacetyl is not the only chemical in nicotine vapes (particularly flavored vapes) that can cause permanent and sometimes life-threatening damage to the lungs.
The vape industry in America grew rapidly, and in the early days, it was marketed as a healthier solution to cigarette smoking. There are indeed fewer chemicals in a nicotine vape. But there is nothing beneficial that is inhaled with each puff.
A study in France evaluated five-thousand smokers who migrated to using nicotine vapes. A high percentage of the participants did quit smoking. But there was also a high percentage of vapers who relapsed back to cigarettes and other tobacco products.
The Difference Between Hemp Pre-Rolls vs. Hemp Cigarettes
A quick search online, and you can find a variety of hemp cigarette brands. Amazon has a large number and a broad variety of them. What is interesting about hemp cigarettes is how closely they resemble the real thing. The packaging looks identical. The hemp cigarette has a filter too, and when you hold it and light it up, the experience is surprisingly similar to having a ‘real’ cigarette. We tried a few brands that were ordered on Amazon to see what they were like.
The first thing we noticed was the price. Hemp cigarettes are usually the same cost as conventional cigarettes. And then something else caught our eye. We had looked at hemp cigarettes many times on Amazon, but there were now pages of hemp pre-roll brands to choose from.
While browsing, we liked the hemp pre-rolls because most of the products were made from natural organic rolling papers. No colors. No flavors. No extra toxic chemicals. And according to the product reviews and comments on Amazon, taking a ‘drag’ on a hemp pre-roll is satisfying. The same density of smoke and draw. And a fresh flavor.
Amazon isn’t the only place to order hemp pre-rolls online. Many companies across the United States cultivate their own high-quality hemp and manufacture them. Hemp is federally legalized now, which means shipping CBD or hemp products over state borders is no longer a felony office. So, you can literally breathe easier when you try hemp pre-rolls as a substitute for cigarettes as you work with your physician on smoking cessation.
