(Reuters) - Smokers of handmade cigarettes tend to consume less snuff, but face a greater risk of developing lung cancer than those who opt for manufactured cigarettes, according to a study in Norwegian lung cancer patients.


Norway is one of the last Western countries that still use a significant amount of cigarettes made by hand, representing one third of the sales of snuff, according to a study released Wednesday.


While snuff smoking cigarettes "consumed (fewer) cigarettes, and statistically had fewer years of smoking, hand-rolled cigarettes were more carcinogenic, resulting in an increased incidence of lung cancer development," the study said Heidi Rolke, Sorlandet Hospital, Norway.


The research was presented at the World Conference on Lung Cancer in Seoul.


Lung cancer is one of the most common in the world. In Asia, every year more than 570,000 people by this disease, which is equivalent to one death per minute. Globally, lung tumors cause the deaths of 1.3 million people.


More than 80 percent of patients with lung cancer in the study of 333 people primarily smoked hand-rolled cigarettes.


The homemade snuff usually contain more nicotine and tar because it has no filter, Rolke said on a conference call.


Jonathan Samet, School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, said similar findings had been documented higher rates of cancer among Hispanic women in the southern United States that used handmade cigarettes.


"This, perhaps, an indication that we should be concerned if rising prices of manufactured cigarettes would lead to substitutions" for home, Samet concluded.
