tomatoes & smoking

[bec197.]

I've heard that you shouldn't eat tomatoes whilst quitting the fags. anybody know why & if there is anything else you shouldn't eat.......giving up is hard to do

Well that's a new one bec! Still it does seem almost everything is bad for you - but not as bad as smoking - so keep at it!!

I love tomatoes, and have them almost every day and when I was giving up the weed. Stop smoking and eat what you like in moderation. Good Luck!!

yeah we know its related to the nicotine plant but then so's potato related to belladonna and coal to diamond.. No direct relation though. - apart from this; http://www.secondnature.ws/news/2003/11/kick_the_n

I have read that smokers shouldn't handle tomato plants while they're growing, something to do with yellow thumbs I guess(?)

Smokers can transmit tobacco mosaic virus which can infect tomatoes see http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticul
