The nicotine content is reduced by immersing the tobacco in water and subjecting it to chemical, physicochemical or thermal treatment. The tobacco is subjected to fermentation at a convenient temp, so that the nicotine content is reduced from 30% to 0.3-0.4%. The fermentation is carried out at neutral or slightly acidid pH. Oviformis yeast selection M, H or O is used. The pH value is established by the addn. of silic, phosphoric, hydrochloric, citric or tungstic acid or their alkali
