Flavored tobacco
Flavored Tobacco
Flavored tobacco (pronunciation: /ˈfleɪvərd təˈbækəʊ/) is a type of tobacco that has been enhanced with additional flavors.
Etymology
The term "flavored tobacco" is derived from the English words "flavor", which means taste or aroma, and "tobacco", which is a product prepared from the leaves of the Nicotiana plant.
Definition
Flavored tobacco is any tobacco product that contains added flavorings that are not naturally found in tobacco. These flavorings can include, but are not limited to, fruits, spices, herbs, alcohol, candy, and other food flavors. The flavorings are added during the manufacturing process to enhance the taste and aroma of the tobacco.
