Embodiment Construction

[0014] As shown in the FIG. 1, the schematic drawing of the procedure, the pre-treatment procedure of this invention consists of: 1) a salted water soaking; 2) washing; 3) 1st drying; 4) steaming; and 5) 2nd drying.

[0015] In step 1), leaves of the Morus alba L. and Lillium longiflorum gathered from the mountain regions of Korea and China are soaked with salted water at ambient temperature to eliminate dirt on the surface. 600 grams of rock salt is dissolved in 2.5 gallons of distilled water. The temperature of the water is maintained between 10 to 30 degrees Celsius. Soak the leaves in the salted water for one week.

[0016] In step 2), wash the leaves with distilled water for 24 hours.

[0017] In step 3) washed leaves are dried at a temperature between 20 and 45 degrees Celsius in the open air.

[0018] Step 4) is steaming. 600 gram of the 1:2 mixture of the leaves from the step 3) are put into a batch steamer of commercial steam cooker containing 1 gallon of a distilled water there un...

Abstract

A process for manufacturing a tobacco leaf substitute that maintains the taste and flavor similar to typical commercial cigarettes utilizing: (1) the leaves of Morus alba L, 1354MI, (2) leaves of Lillium longiflorum; (3) and leaves of herbs, is comprised of, including but not limited to: 1) a salted water soaking; 2) washing; 3) 1st drying; 4) steaming; and 5) 2nd drying. The tobacco leaf substitute of this invention emits a minute amount of nicotine than conventional cigarettes. The tobacco leaf substitute has a beneficial effect of being free of any cigarette-related poisons stemming from traces of mercury, nickel, and cadmium found in typical commercially available cigarettes. The cigarette substitute of this invention helps to quit smoking and eliminates poisons from the bloodstream of pre-smokers.
