A method of curing tobacco comprises drying a harvested tobacco plant in a controlled environment for a time suf-ficient to substantially prevent the formation of at least one nitrosamine. The tobacco is first subjected to the controlled environ-ment while at least a majority of the tobacco is in a green state. The resulting cured tobacco usually has tobacco-specific ni-trosamine (TSNA) levels which are undetectable and are similar to levels found in freshly harvested, green tobacco.
