Herbal cigarettes (also called tobacco-free cigarettes or nicotine-free cigarettes) are cigarettes that do not contain any tobacco, instead being composed of a mixture of various herbs and/or other plant material.^[1] Such cigarettes are not to be confused with non-additive or natural tobacco cigarette varieties. Like herbal smokeless tobacco, they are often used as a substitute for standard tobacco products (primarily cigarettes), and many times are promoted as a tobacco cessation aid.^{[citation needed]} Herbal cigarettes are also used in acting scenes by performers who are non-smokers, or—as is becoming increasingly common—where anti-smoking legislation prohibits the use of tobacco in public spaces.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Manufacturing

Paper and filter

Herbal cigarettes are most often made using standard-issue rolling papers and cigarette filters.

Herbal blend

A wide range of consumable products may be used as a filling, in lieu of tobacco. Corn silk and a number of flavorful herbs, such as mint, cinnamon or lemongrass, have been utilized by a wide number of herbal cigarette producers.^[5] Other manufacturers have included non-herbs like rose petals or clover leaves. Some use the flavorless bagasse and make the herbal cigarette depend on the flavoring; this is especially common in shisha. Some are made with dried lettuce.

Herbal cigarettes are not viewed as physically addictive, as they do not contain addictive substances.^{[citation needed]}

History

Originating from the Unted Kingdom in 1947, the seemingly^{[citation needed]} oldest brand of herbal cigarettes are Honeyrose and Black Swan; they are currently sold worldwide.^[6]^[7]
