Aaaah, don't do the cigarette smoke thing. Tobacco is a common carrier of
the mosaic virus which is easily spread to plants even by unwashed fingers
of smokers. What kind of bugs do you have?

A soapy spray of water might get rid of them, that plus white fly traps
(sticky pieces of yellow tape w/o pesticides). It would help to know
exactly what you're dealing with.
