Roll your own tobacco stores thriving in Ohio

In Ohio, people have sought different ways to deal with the high cost of cigarettes, prices that probably aren't going down anytime soon. One way to deal with the prices of tobacco is to roll your own.

At Medina Smokes, in Medina, Ohio, they use large machines that pack tobacco into pre-made cigarette tubes. This is an evolution of the older methods of rolling tobacco into papers, or stuffing the tubes yourself with a small machine called a shooter. At Media Smokes, people can make a carton's worth of cigarettes for under $25.

You can probably expect this kind of thing to increase, tobacco shops with machines that customers can use to make their own cigarettes. As well with the increase of cigarette making machines, the government will try to crack down on them as well.
