Do they realize the joint/spliff they are smoking is filled up with way more tobacco than marijuana ? (or do they smoke fully loaded joint ?)

edit: I don't understand the downvote but to clarify things: in Europe, where I live, I seldom saw fully loaded joint (which would be called the same: joint or blunt).

TIL a joint can contain tobacco.
In Denmark (and I think most of Europe?) joints usually have tobacco in them, though apparently that's less common in the US.
Yes, in Europe it is very common to mix tobacco with your weed/hashish when rolling joints.
Yuck.
Some people did, but for the most part growing up in southern california it was just all weed, and usually smoked in a bong or pipe or something else made with glass.

Blunts were popular though, so that might negate some of it.

Yea, except the fact that it does not have the addictive elements of nicotine and those same students do not smoke 20 joints per day. But now you also have edibles and vaporizers too.
Is there any talk about the quality or characteristics of the paper used to fabricate the joint ?
Some papers incorporate talk into their branding.

"Natural unrefined paper" "100% rice paper" "Natural hemp gum"

contribution from the paper is de minimis
