CBD cigarettes – effects, legality, price & differences

What are CBD cigarettes?

CBD cigarettes are nicotine-free, hemp-based cigarettes that contain cannabidiol (CBD) and have a THC content below 0.3%. They look similar to classic cigarettes, but contain dried CBD hemp flowers instead of tobacco. They are marketed as a tobacco substitute or as a substitute for the smoking habit.

Note: Smoking is harmful to health, regardless of whether tobacco or hemp is burned. Combustion products are produced in every case. No content here should be understood as a health promise or a statement about effects. 18+ only.

CBD cigarettes vs. tobacco cigarettes

• CBD cigarettes: nicotine-free, no tobacco, contain CBD from industrial hemp, THC content below 0.3%
• Tobacco cigarettes: contain nicotine (addictive), tobacco, many additives
• What they have in common: both produce combustion products when smoked (tar, CO, harmful substances)

Is smoking CBD cigarettes harmless to health?

No. Even though CBD cigarettes contain no nicotine, burning plant material produces harmful substances. Inhaling combustion products is always associated with health risks. If you want to inhale CBD, a CBD vape pen offers an alternative without combustion.

Legal situation in Germany

In Germany, a THC limit of below 0.3% applies to CBD cigarettes made from industrial hemp. CBD is listed neither in the BtMG nor in the NpSG annex. Purchase is possible from the age of 18.

CBD cigarettes vs. CBD vape: which is better?

A CBD vape pen does not burn anything. The liquid is vaporised, not burned. This avoids combustion products. CBD cigarettes, on the other hand, match a classic cigarette in form and handling and are therefore more familiar to smokers who want to switch.
