Pulps were derived from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) stalks grown in three locations in Jordan by using both kraft (Sulphate) and Noytral Sulphate Semichemical (NSSC) processes. In both methods pulping yield constituted about (50%) of the dry weight of the raw material. Physical strength properties of the paper from pulp prepared by both methods were similar to those obtained from pulp of several forest trees and annual plants. However, the strength of paper prepared from NSSC pulps was higher than that of the paper prepared from kraft pulps. Results suggest that tobacco stalks could be used as raw material for pulp and paper manufacturing specially due to the lack of such materials in Jordan
