Packet of 20 Ginseng herbal cigarettes, 1999.

Tobacco and nicotine free herbal cigarettes with an Oriental design packet, made by Honeyrose Products Ltd, Stowmarket, Suffolk. Medical research, which linked tobacco smoking with a lengthening list of health hazards including lung cancer and heart disease, led to active measures to reduce cigarette use. Manufacturers responded to anti-smoking measures by offering reduced tar cigarettes and restrictions on tobacco advertising in the UK led to alternative marketing methods such as sending free gifts to smokers.
