PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for processing a tobacco leaf in which production yield of the tobacco is not influenced and a harmful component is reduced by simply carrying out a harmful component treating process of the tobacco leaf by spraying and heating. SOLUTION: The method for processing the tobacco leaf comprises a stage for applying a carbonate-based substance which is a food additive to the tobacco leaf and a stage for heating the leaf of the tobacco. According to the leaf- processing method, the carbonate-based substance is strongly reacted with the harmful component contained in the tobacco leaf to astringe the harmful component and the harmful component is separated and removed by an evaporation. As a result, after passing through the harmful component-removing treatment process of the tobacco leaf, an irritating smell component is removed to improve the following flavor-adding conditions. Further, aroma and taste which are characteristic to the tobacco is directly maintained in combustion of the tobacco and indirect smoking damage is minimized and loss of health of smokers is reduced and craving to smoke can be solved. The method enables production of a functional tobacco such as an anti-smoking grass. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
