Packet of 20 NTB Menthol herbal cigarettes, labelled as 'no tobacco, no nicotine, helps you stop smoking', by Arkopharma, Coulsdon, Surrey, 1999.
Made from a mixture of herbs and tar, these herbal cigarettes contained no tobacco or nicotine. The maker, Arkopharma, marketed them as a way to help people give up smoking without giving up the ‘feel’ of smoking.
Although advertised as a ‘healthier cigarette’, the product still contained potentially cancer-causing tar, but in reduced amounts compared to cigarettes made with tobacco.
