It is my understanding that ammonia doesn’t actually need to “gas off” but instead gets converted and not necessarily removed.
Tobacco does not contain ammonia that needs to gas-off. Ammonia is chemically created when the leaf's oxidizing enzymes break nitrogen moieties off of the proteins they are degrading.
