A thought

I just found a gardening tip that says you can use a spray made with tobacco to kill bugs in your garden. They say it works quickly, and advocated it as a way to use up your old cigarette butts (making the spray).
Just a thought: If it works so well and so quickly killing bugs, why would you want to ingest it in the first place (via smoking or any of the other means out there? After all, what it does to the bugs must also be happening to the bodies of smokers, snuff users, and tobacco chewers.

What a gross thought!

Another remedy is bug juice--literally crushed up bugs--yech. I prefer hot sauce as a deterent.

Wilma, I know people who grow the jalapeno peppers just to blenderize them and spray their plants with it...lol.

I hadn't heard of this. So, why isn't this tobacco spray available in stores? Heck, I'm old enough to buy tobacco - only, I don't smoke.

Incidentally, did you know that tobacco plants are useful for cleaning up a radioactively contaminated site? Yep, the plants concentrate radioactive materials found in the soil in their leaves. Wait, that's the part that gets smoked.
