Patent # 6,619,293 is a utility patent which manufactures green tea leaves into Tea Cigarette as alternative to tobacco products.  Unlike tobacco products which ontain carcinogen(toxin), nicotine and hundreds of added toxic additives,  Tea Cigarette on the other hand, contains lot of anti-oxidant property, a little bit of  caffeine & tannin like that found in red wine which is good for the blood and myriad of anti-cancer property. 

Compared to Tobacco products, tea cigarette is superior because  Tea cigarette is user friendly, environmentally friendly, passive smoker friendly with  a sweet smell. It is also more affordable.  Brand tobacco cigarettes cost from $28 to $45a carton plus federal, state or county taxes while green tea cigarette will cost from $22 to $26 per carton.

 Government reports have it that about 500,000 deaths annually are attributable to cigarette smoking. It this report is true, why is the government not outlawing the production of tobacco? Instead, Congress just keep on adding taxes while tobacco farmers are being subsidized by the government.  How about alternative to tobacco products that is  cheaper, safer & friendlier?

In a nutshell, this is where my product, green tea cigarette  will come into play.  Because green tea cigarette  contains no carcinogen, no nicotine & no additives, potential reduction of the risk of lung cancer is real.  And reducing the risk    will have positive effect on reducing the number of deaths of 500,000 annually.

 I have usable prototype available as samples or use. But to comercialize the production, the only thing needed is cigarette making machine which is affordable and available. FDA, FTC & license requirements, price, source of green tea leaves, importation requirements, duties, potential target markets (US Military stores, domestic and overseas stores) & potential profits had been thoroughly researched.
