    Now if I get some weird cancer one day I’ll probably link it to that one joint I hit that was rolled in thermal paper :/

      This the second person saying this. What’s up with you guys?

      I mean I’ve been in a situation with no rizla myself but I’ve just used the remains of a cigarette after removing the tobacco.

          I mean a not used cigarette and emptying out the tobacco and using the paper from that.

          I doubt that is more carcinogenic than thermal paper coated in BPA.

          The cancer you get from cigs is the tobacco.
