A cigarette manufacturing apparatus has an applicator that is interposed in a wrapping paper supply path for continuously supplying wrapping paper to a hoist and applies an aroma chemical to the wrapping paper, a high-frequency dielectric heating device that is installed in the applicator and dries the wrapping paper applied with the aroma chemical, and a warm air blower that supplies warm air to the inside of the high-frequency dielectric heating device and dehumidifies the inside of the device. Particularly, used as the high-frequency dielectric heating device is one that has one or more electrode pairs arranged opposite each other at a prescribed distance and applied with a high-frequency voltage in a range of from 10 to 100 MHz, and applies a high-frequency electric field to the wrapping paper introduced to between the electrodes to dielectrically heat the wrapping paper, so that the wrapping paper is provided to cigarette production after the aroma chemical applied to the wrapping paper is properly dried.
