Nicotiana alata is a species of tobacco. It is called jasmine tobacco,[2] sweet tobacco,[3] winged tobacco, tanbaku, and Persian tobacco.
Nictoiana alata is mainly grown as an ornamental plant; numerous cultivars and hybrids are derived from it. In Iran, narghila tobacco is sometimes produced from N. alata; it is not chopped like cigarette tobacco, but broken up by hand.
