Cannabis is most commonly consumed by smoking, though cannabis enthusiasts can also ingest it in other ways. The most popular smoking methods are via bongs and joints, but you can also smoke it in cigar format – a marijuana cigar is called a blunt. A blunt must be wrapped to keep it together as tobacco cigars.

The act of smoking blunt began in cities across America, such as New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Blunts are named after Phillies Blunt brand cigar wraps, although any commonly available inexpensive cigar or cigarillo may be used. 

And while the earliest iterations of blunt wraps contained harmful ingredients, new advancements in design have created healthy alternatives using materials such as natural hemp and other substances to develop blunt wraps that don't hurt the smoker.

In 2016, researchers analyzed the nicotine content of five different blunt wraps and found that each contained between 1.2mg and 6mg of nicotine. For comparison, a typical cigarette contains about 10mg of nicotine. After taking into account the nicotine lost in sidestream smoke and the physiological factors that affect its bioavailability, consumers typically absorb 1-2 milligrams of nicotine per cigarette.

The researchers found that the nicotine level in blunt wraps is probably not high enough to cause addiction. Still, they did not look into how it may affect people who are already addicted to nicotine or trying to recover from addiction.
