do you know which indoor plant likes tobacco smoke?
my mother is smoking all the time and my indoor plants are nto happy

with it

any ideas?


TMV in tobacco smoke can infect various plants, mainly those in the
nightshade family (Solanaceae), such as tomatoes and petunias (which
aren't typical houseplants anyway), but also many others. Small white
tile-like patches would indicate that this is a problem.

Other tobacco smoke constituents are not especially harmful to plants,
though they are so harmful to humans that it would be a Good Thing to
do everything you could to encourage her to quit; but if she insists
on smoking anyway, houseplants will help clean the air somewhat.
