1
Lay one cigarette paper on a table in front of you, with the crease down so that the paper creates an open well.
-
2
Fill the paper well with an even line of dried clover flowers, marshmallow leaves, rose petals or tea leaves infused with ginseng, vanilla or menthol to improve the taste.

3
Carefully roll one long side of the paper around the dried plant material to create an even cylinder. Continue rolling until only a small flap of paper sticks up on the opposite long end.
-
4
Lick the flap, making sure not to get the paper too soggy, and then seal it to the rolled cylinder by pressing along its length with your finger.
-
5
Pinch off any excess plant material that may have seeped out of either end of the cylinder.
-
6
Place one end of the cigarette in your mouth, light the other end and inhale.

Tips & Warnings
Even though no tobacco or nicotine is present in alternative cigarettes, you are still inhaling tar-filled smoke into your lungs and consuming known carcinogens. For occasional, theatrical use, alternative cigarettes are relatively safe, but you should avoid frequent use.
Alternative cigarettes often taste terrible.
