Abstract
We present results from a qualitative study of smokers of home-grown tobacco (chop-chop). In particular, we focused on participants' perceptions of the health effects of smoking chop-chop relative to legal tobacco. Consistent with previous work, we found that smokers of chop-chop believe that relatively less chemical treatment of chop-chop tobacco meant lower health risks than with legal products, although many believed the ultimate difference in effect on health was negligible.
