Taken orally yes, but I wonder what of this effect remains when smoked? I think it hasn't been studied much unfortunately.
Cigarettes seem to contain licorice quite often. (Marlboro Red for example lists licorice extract among its ingredients).

My last Fortune Cookie ? read... “That wasn’t chicken”
So what’s in the egg drop, cream of sum yung guy?
I think sum ting wong with this thread.
I would love to know what is in the famous "Lakeland essence". It's a secret though. Very intriguing.
How I look at this flavoring thing is that if there is no flavoring mentioned then it is not likely to dominate. I accept that some form of casing is in place most of the time, but it complements the natural flavors of the leaf instead of dominating it. Isn't a fraud in my opinion, just part of processing tobacco to make it smokable.
Talk about fraud: many whisky manufacturers add caramel coloring to their whisky to make it look like it's more "aged" than it really is (makes it more brownish/amber). And they usually won't mention it unless required by law, and it usually isn't. Now that's fradulent in my opinion as it doesn't improve the product but just creates a faulty image to the customer.

@elnoblecigarro. Consider yourself lucky. I have read that back in the good old 'Wild West' they would dye alcohol brown using tobacco and then call that Whiskey! In fact this brief movie clip just about sums up what I think the West was like back in the day.
Many days the RH where I live does not get above 10% (Arizona desert). I can take moist tobacco out of a tin and dry it to any level I wish in a few minutes. Rope tobaccos take a little longer - lol.
Can you imagine someone reviewing a whiskey back then? "This one is not only earthy and leathery but also shoey and gunpowdery with subtle soapness".
