Jerry Baker is the guy. Some people love him. I find him unbearably
codger-like.
I suspect he uses this spray on shrubs and flowers. Everything I have ever
read or heard says that all tobacco products should be kept FAR AWAY from
tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes (others?) because of tobacco mosaic virus.
This even goes so far as to suggest not smoking near the vegetable garden,
and that smokers should wash hands and don gloves before working in the
veggies.
