Smoke Island Tobacco

Buy Smoke Island Nicotine-Free Tobacco Substitute

Want to enjoy a hookah without nicotine and without everything else that comes with burning tobacco? Then give the tobacco substitute from Smoke Island a try. It's based on cellulose instead of tobacco, but it smokes almost like the real thing, with dense smoke and full flavour.

The cellulose itself doesn't smoulder at all, only the soaked-in molasses is vaporised. That means far fewer combustion substances than with classic hookah tobacco, and you can taste the difference too: clearer and less earthy.

What makes Smoke Island tobacco substitute special?

Cellulose is boiled plant fibre, the same stuff used to make paper. Depending on the plant it comes from, the fibres are longer or shorter and absorb slightly differently. Once dried, they're extremely absorbent, which you'll know from kitchen roll, tissues, or newspaper.

Tobacco leaves are also largely made of cellulose, so the principle works in a similar way: when heated, the cellulose slowly releases the liquid it has soaked up. The difference to tobacco is that cellulose binds more liquid and turns mushy rather than fluffy. It has almost no flavour of its own, so the flavourings come through more clearly and the smoke production is noticeably denser than with regular tobacco.

Because the typical combustion substances found in real tobacco simply don't occur in cellulose, smoking cellulose is considered, as far as is currently known, less harmful than classic tobacco. There's no nicotine in it either way. More on that in our nicotine-free hookah tobacco range.

How do I pack a bowl with Smoke Island?

Packing the bowl is barely different from packing one with classic tobacco. What you should watch is the heat. Smoke Island's tobacco substitute tolerates less heat than many tobaccos and starts to taste scratchy quickly otherwise. With a bit of a gap and an ONMO, especially the black one, you'll be set. As soon as it turns scratchy, just reduce the heat.
