re: #33 Slumbering Behemoth

Lately, I’ve been buying six ounce tins (papers included) for about $36USD. And that’s the “cheap” stuff. No wonder y’all got a black market for that stuff.

Hey we even have a wiki for it:

Chop Chop
Chop Chop is sometimes viewed as being more healthy than normal, branded tobacco. However, undocumented and very likely false or fake research has suggested that it can contain contaminants such as twigs and pulp from raw cotton, hay, cabbage leaves, grass clippings and chloride products. Though very unlikely, one writer possibly a tobacco company has suggested that Mould and fungi are also commonly found in “chop-chop” samples[citation needed].

Another unsubstantiated claim is that smoking “chop-chop” has the potential to cause greater illness, than branded tobacco and possible fatality in those who use it. This is claimed, largely, to the dense volume of fungal contamination that is usually found in samples of “chop-chop”. Though this is again unlikely not true. These fungi can cause toxic responses in the lungs, liver, kidneys and skin. The illnesses may range from allergic reactions, chronic bronchitis and asthma to lung cancer or legionnaire’s disease.

Smoking “chop-chop”, like smoking manufactured tobacco products, has a cancerous or contaminating effect on every single organ or system in the human body.
