The process will generally take about a week. This method produces tobacco that is high in sugar and has medium to high levels of nicotine. The Smith Tobacco Barn is an example of a traditional, flue-cured tobacco barn. [6] Flue-cured tobacco requires an estimated one tree per 300 cigarettes. [7]
Y1 has a higher nicotine content than conventional flue-cured tobacco (6.5% versus 3.2—3.5%), [16] but a comparable amount of tar, and does not affect taste or aroma. [17] British American Tobacco (BAT) began to discuss the trialling of Y1 tobacco in 1991, [18] despite it not being approved for use in the United States. [13]

It differs from moist snuff or chewing tobacco in that it is made from steam-cured tobacco leaves, rather than fire-cured ones, and its health effects are markedly different, with epidemiological studies showing lower rates of cancer and other tobacco-related health problems than cigarettes, American "chewing tobacco", Indian gutka or African ...
Flue-cured tobacco was originally strung onto tobacco sticks, which were hung from tier poles in curing barns (Aus: kilns, also traditionally called 'oasts'). These barns have flues run from externally fed fire boxes, heat-curing the tobacco without exposing it to smoke, slowly raising the temperature over the course of the curing.
