RAW
RAW is a brand of cigarette rolling paper used in the process of RYO (Rolling Your Own Cigarette). It contains a "proprietary" blend of vegan unbleached fibers, resulting in a thin, brown translucent paper. RAW rolling papers allow the item being smoked to be tasted much better, as they produce little smoke themselves. The RAW rolling paper is quite translucent.
RYO is popular as a cost-saving measure, as self-rolled cigarettes have a lower unit cost than commercially-rolled cigarettes. In countries such as Brazil, natural product rolling papers are very popular, and many people use corn husks to roll their cigarettes.
Although using nonchloriated paper such as RAW may reduce the amount of toxic dioxins produced from tobacco smoking, the dioxins are only one of the many classes of pollutants released from burning tobacco.
