Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1180335A1] The tobacco, in leaf or cut form for making cigars or cigarettes, has its nicotine content reduced or completely removed by the action of tannin. The tobacco is steeped in a concentrated infusion of China tea for up to 60 seconds to extract all the nicotine and 30 seconds to remove half, and then pressed. The liquid from the pressing, containing a high proportion of nicotine, could be marketed as a parasiticide.
