It is in the form of a thin sheet having a thickness of 1 to 0.5 mm and has flexibility, but this thickness can be appropriately changed on condition that the cigarette can be wound. The herb powder 3 such as lotus, moloheiya, aloe, dokudami etc. is obtained by drying a medicinal herb such as lotus, moroheya, aloe, dokudami and the like, and is added to starch at the time of production. The amount of addition can be changed as appropriate, but it is suitably about 30 to 300 parts by weight, more preferably about 50 to 100 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of starch. When the amount of the herb powder is small, the medicinal properties of the herb cannot be expected sufficiently. On the other hand, when the amount is more than 100 parts by weight, it becomes difficult to maintain a sheet having an appropriate strength. It becomes difficult to form. The herbs to be used can be freely selected and used as long as they produce ingredients that are beneficial to health by being baked. Particularly preferred are aloe, ashitaba, amacha, apricot, fig, and okogi. , Fennel, spinach, plantain, pokera, liquorice, kikyo, yellowfin, wolfberry, kuzu, gardenia, mulberry, gennoshoko, saffron, peonies, assembly, taiou, dokudami, nanten, leek, lycopodium, scorpion, sunflower, hailgaw , Mugwort, gentian and the like. The herb component to be added may be one obtained by drying the herb to make it into a fine powder, or may contain an extract extracted therefrom.

The substitute 1 for cigarette wrapping paper is a cigarette that can be manufactured by putting a tobacco leaf inside and winding the cigarette. The filter may be attached after winding. The wound end can be glued as it is by dissolving the starch by applying water, but it is also possible to glue it with a separate glue.

Next, a method for producing the cigarette paper substitute 1 will be described. First, starch is added to water.
The medicinal herb powder such as lotus, moroheiya, aloe, and dokudami is mixed evenly, and heated and stirred to form a paste-like liquid 4 to fill the tank 5. The roller 6 having a releasing property on the surface is immersed in the liquid 4 and pulled up, so that the liquid 4 adheres to the surface of the roller 6 to form a film. It is desirable that the surface of the roller 6 be maintained at about 85 ° C. by, for example, passing steam into the inside of the roller 6. Dried. At this stage, the film is peeled off from the surface of the roller 6 and taken up by a separately equipped winder (not shown). Then, the film (which can be implemented as a thickness of 0.02 to 0.04 mm, which can be appropriately changed as described above) removed from the winder (not shown) is cut into a predetermined shape. Thereby, the substitute 1 for cigarette paper can be obtained. And
Tobacco leaves are put into this cigarette paper roll substitute, rolled up, sealed with water at the end, and the tobacco is completed.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a substitute for cigarette wrapping paper according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the above embodiment, the form of the leaf holder of the tobacco is in the form of a sheet or a thin film, but in this embodiment, it is in the form of a cylinder. That is, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), a tobacco leaf 12 is put in a semi-cylindrical body 11 baked with glutinous rice as a main component,
By joining the two half-cylindrical bodies 11 and 11 together, the tobacco leaf is placed in the cylindrical body shown in FIG. 3 (B). In addition, two half-cylindrical bodies 11 and 11 are joined together without inserting a tobacco leaf, or they are baked in advance as a cylindrical body to make an empty cylindrical body first, and the inside of the tobacco is placed inside. Leaves can be added.

A method of manufacturing a substitute for cigarette wrapping paper according to this embodiment will be described below. Rice washing process First, glutinous rice, which is a main component of the raw material of the leather in the middle, is thoroughly washed with water.
