Process for manufacturing nicotine free cigarette substitute

Abstract

A process for manufacturing a cigarette substitute, maintaining the taste and flavor of a typical commercially available cigarette utilizing: (1) the shredded leaves of Morus alba L, 1354MI; (2) shredded leaves of Synurus deltoids (MIT) NAKAI 3822G1; (3) shredded leaves of Berchemia berchemiaefolia (MAK). K01DZ, 2635 MI; (4) shredded leaves of Eucomonia ulmodies OLIVER, 2003M1; (5) and shredded leaves of herbs, is comprised of, including but not limited to: 1) washing; 2) primary drying; 3) steaming; 4) secondary drying; 5) shredding; and, 6) packing. The cigarette substitute of this invention is manufactured in normal cigarettes appearance, 20 each per pack. The substitute emits an undetectable amount of nicotine and no class “A” carcinogenic substance when consumed by a person. The cigarette substitute has a beneficial effect of cancer-resistance.
