It's one of the first questions people ask when they hear about nicotine-free cigarettes: if there's no tobacco, what's actually in them? It's a fair question — and a smart one. Here's a transparent look at what goes into TAAT®.
The Short Answer
TAAT® is made from a proprietary hemp-derived blend called Beyond Tobacco™ — engineered specifically to replicate the smoking experience of tobacco, without any tobacco leaf or nicotine.
What Is Beyond Tobacco™?
Beyond Tobacco™ is TAAT®'s patented core ingredient, the result of millions of dollars in research and development. There is genuinely nothing else like it on the market.
It's built on a hemp base — processed and reconstituted into a material that:
- Burns at a similar rate to tobacco
- Produces a similar draw and feel to a traditional cigarette
- Delivers a familiar sensory experience — the scent, the smoke, the ritual
- Contains zero tobacco and zero nicotine
What About Hemp, CBD, and THC?
This is where TAAT® often surprises people. Beyond Tobacco™ is hemp-derived and contains CBD. TAAT® contains less than 0.2% THC by weight — well below the 0.3% federal threshold.
It is not a cannabis product and is not psychoactive. You won't get high. What you get is the smoking ritual, delivered through a hemp-derived material that has been scientifically engineered to replicate the tobacco experience more closely than anything else available.
That's the breakthrough. That's what the R&D was for.
What About the Rest of the Cigarette?
The rest of TAAT® is constructed like a standard cigarette:
- Paper: Standard cigarette rolling paper
- Filter: A standard cellulose acetate filter
- Pack: Standard king-size flip-top pack, 20 cigarettes per pack, 10 packs per carton
The Menthol variety includes menthol flavoring. Original and Smooth differ in blend ratio, producing a bolder or milder draw respectively.
Is It Safe?
TAAT® is not marketed as a safe product or a health product. It is a tobacco-free, nicotine-free alternative for adults who enjoy the smoking ritual. Combustion of any material — including plant-based material — produces byproducts. Nicotine-free and tobacco-free does not mean risk-free.
What it does mean: no tobacco leaf, no nicotine, no tobacco-specific compounds.
Why Does This Matter?
For smokers who are curious about what they're putting in their body, transparency matters. TAAT® was built on the premise that adults deserve a tobacco-free, nicotine-free option that actually feels like the real thing — and that starts with being honest about what's inside.
No tobacco. No nicotine. A patented hemp-derived blend containing CBD, with less than 0.2% THC — and nothing else like it on the market.
