- Chop Chop (tobacco)
orphan date January 2010 Image DunhillEarlyMorningPipeMurrays.jpg thumb Tobacco Chop chop , also known as loose tobacco , is an Australian term for untaxed, cheap, illegal tobacco , such as that which is home grown. Chop chop avoids heavy excise and taxation levies and can be much cheaper than the legal product. The chop chop industry is illegal and unregulated. ref http www.health.gov.au internet main publishing.nsf Content health pubhlth strateg drugs tobacco chop chop.htm www.Health.gov.au The Facts about Chop Chop Tobacco Dead link url http www.health.gov.au internet main publishing.nsf Content health pubhlth strateg drugs tobacco chop chop.htm date August 2008 ref Health concerns Chop Chop is sometimes viewed as being more healthy than normal, branded tobacco. However, undocumented and very likely false or fake research has suggested that it can contain contaminants such as twigs and pulp from raw cotton, hay, cabbage leaves, grass clippings and chloride products. Though very unlikely, one writer possibly a tobacco company has suggested that Mould and fungi are also commonly found in chop chop samples Citation needed date June 2009 . Another unsubstantiated claim is that smoking chop chop has the potential to cause greater illness, than branded tobacco and possible fatality in those who use it. This is claimed, largely, to the dense volume of fungal contamination that is usually found in samples of chop chop . Though this is again unlikely not true. These fungi can cause toxic responses in the lungs , liver , kidneys and skin. The illnesses may range from allergy allergic reactions, chronic bronchitis and asthma to lung cancer or Legionellosis legionnaire s disease . Smoking chop chop , like smoking manufactured tobacco products, has a cancer ous or contaminating effect on every single organ or system in the human body. Trafficking Because of its illegal nature, Chop Chop is often transported and stored in a clandestine manner. A recent example was the discover ... more details
