[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 374510"] My understanding was that ammonia was a product of tobacco made from immature leaves, which is why orientals seem most affected, at least to me. Unless my memory is playing tricks on me again, I am confident that ammonia is or was added to cigarettes to manipulate the nicotine absorption of the consumer, as was alluded to by an earlier brother. I haven't smelt ammonia in any other kind of fermented food or drink so on that basis I am skeptical that it is a normal byproduct of fermentation. Fwiw I regularly smell ammonia in pipe tobaccos. It is most noticeable if you put your nose to the bowl and take a brisk sniff. [/QUOTE]
