Hand-rolled tobacco can cause blindness, tumors and dementia, survey says

SMOKERS are being warned hand rolled tobacco can cause blindness, tumours and dementia and is as dangerous to health as manufactured cigarettes.

A Smokefree South West survey showed 53% of the region’s smokers use roll-ups.
