Actors often smoke herbal cigarettes, using lettuce or tea leaves, instead of tobacco on camera.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (75/100).
The claim that actors often smoke herbal cigarettes instead of tobacco on camera is generally supported by evidence from medium-reliable sources. Herbal cigarettes are commonly used in films to avoid nicotine and facilitate multiple takes. There is no strong contradicting evidence. The use of herbal substitutes like lettuce or tea leaves is also mentioned as a common practice, but specific ingredients are less frequently detailed. Therefore, the claim appears to be mostly accurate, supported by the prevalent use of herbal alternatives on film sets.
