The invention discloses a preparation method for peripherally heated non-burning cigarette shreds. The method comprises the following steps that 1, the
moisture content of reconstituted tobacco is increased; 2, spices and a
smoke generating agent are added into the reconstituted tobacco, and the
moisture content of the reconstituted tobacco is increased, wherein the spices and the
smoke generatingagent account for 5-30% of the weight of the tobacco; 3, the reconstituted tobacco in step 2 is
cut into tobacco shreds; 4, the
moisture content of the tobacco shreds is decreased at the low temperature; 5, the temperature of the tobacco shreds is lowered to the
room temperature with low-
humidity and dried air, and the moisture content is decreased to 9-14 wt%; 6, the spices and the
smoke generating agent are added into the tobacco shreds for uniform mixing to obtain the heated non-burning cigarette shreds, wherein the addition quantity of the spices and smoke generating agent accounts for 0.5-7% of the weight of the tobacco shreds, and step 4 can be omitted. According to the method, the original
flavor in the tobacco is not destroyed, the spices and the smoke generating agent which are added into the tobacco shreds are maintained to the maximum limit, the taste of smoke is improved, and the smoke amount is increased.
