Feb. 02, 1967 - Cigarettes Made From Lettuce On Sale In London: Nicotine-free cigarettes, made from lettuce, went on sale today at the Tesco supermarket in Brixton South London. The cigarettes, imported from America sell at 2s.9d for twenty king-size filter tips. Called Bravas - they are made in a new factory in Hereford, Texas, from a variety of lettuce called Lactuca Sativa'.
