Cigarette Rolling Instructions

Cigarette smoking can make a dent in your weekly budget. The price of cigarettes tends to rise quite often and if you smoke a pack or two a day, the cost can add up quickly. Rolling your own cigarettes can reduce that cost. You do not have to purchase a special machine to roll your own smokes, and you can purchase supplies at any smoke shop.

Instructions

• 1

  Place the cigarette rolling paper on a flat surface in front of you. Position the end with the adhesive edge furthest away from you.

• 2

  Use your thumb and index finger to pinch a small amount of tobacco out of the container. You will need less than a tablespoon of the tobacco product per cigarette. You may need to experiment to get the correct amount. Packing the tobacco tightly make may it difficult to inhale the cigarette, and packing it too loosely may feel as if you are sucking on air.

• 3

  Place the tobacco in an even line along the paper. Allow the tobacco to extend beyond the ends of the paper, approximately one half inch on either end.

• 4

  Pick up the cigarette carefully with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands. Hold the cigarette at a 45 degree angle and fold the end of the paper nearest you over a couple of times with your thumbs. This results in a cylinder shape.

• 5

  Continue rolling the cylinder shape until the edge with the adhesive is only about a half inch long.

• 6

  Moisten the adhesive edge lightly with your tongue or a damp sponge. Press it down and allow it to dry for about 30 seconds.

• 7

  Remove any excess tobacco from both ends and return it to the pouch. Bend the tip end of the cigarette paper in or pinch it together. This will make the cigarette more stable and create a rim to keep the tobacco out of your mouth.
