A
smokeless tobacco product is configured for
insertion into the mouth of a user and incorporates materials from
Nicotiana species (e.g., tobacco-derived materials) and
plant materials from non-
Nicotiana species (e.g., non-tobacco
plant materials). The tobacco material can have the form of processed tobacco material (e.g., granulated, reconstituted,
heat treated, or otherwise processed tobacco laminae and / or stem), tobacco extract (e.g., an extract of
water soluble tobacco components obtained by extracting tobacco with water), or a combination thereof. The non-tobacco material can have the form of vegetable pulp (e.g.,
sugar beet pulp), pulp obtained after removal of
water soluble components as a result of
water extraction treatment, or a combination thereof. The
tobacco product is composed of a mixture of the tobacco material and non-tobacco material components; such as a mixture of tobacco material, tobacco extract and processed non-tobacco material, or a mixture of aqueous tobacco extract and water-extracted vegetable pulp.
