Before I start I am not saying that smoking benefits anyone or is a habit anyone should get into but for us that are already addicted I'm just going to state the benefits of rolling your own cigarettes than the other alternative of cigarettes!
The first thing is defiantly price, I smoke around 10 a day which isn't much but ten cigarettes cost around £3.50 and up, round that up to a week and that's a good thirty pound each week, instead purchasing a bumper of filter tips (for around a pound in a market for 200) will last me around a month, and buying a 25g pouch for around £7 and another pound for a bumper of papers from the market totals to less than a tenner! and all this will last me around a week to a week and a half That's almost twenty pounds in savings!
I feel much better rolling my own and when I have had the occasional cigarette I've noticed my eyes sting and burn and it tastes much worse, because of the menthol tips I use they taste much more sweet, the reason the cigarettes burn down much quicker and sting your eyes is because of the added chemicals. I also find that my throat feels very sore and harsh when I switch to cigarettes, which can't be good!
The problem most people have is rolling, you can buy a small machine from poundland and other stores which will do the work for you, and then all you have to do is roll and pack them up for your day or you can learn! It did take me a while but I can now roll! It can be a pain if I forget to pre-roll and its windy though!
So yeah switch up to rollies!
Summary: It's a better idea to roll-your-own
