Bidis

Bidis are small hand-rolled cigarettes wrapped in leaf and tied to string at the ends. It can have many flavors like mango, peach, etc.

Bidis actually has higher concentrates of tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide than cigarettes sold in the united states.

Bidis are often mistaken for a healthier cigarette because they look natural, but they have higher risks for throat, mouth, and lung cancer.

Bidis do not burn as easy due to the wrapping making the smoker inhale harder and more often to keep the cigarette lit. It takes 28 puffs for a bidi, compared to 9 puffs for a cigarette.

You use bidis just like you use a normal cigarette.
