hmm, learn something new every day.... but aren't cigarettes really

I,m responding several days later but in case it has not already been
mentioned: Cigarette soup IS a powerful insecticide.
However it is also a way to transmit tobacco mosaic virus.
If you are dealing with plants that are not susceptible
then that is not an issue.
I believe orchid people are very sensitive to concerns
about blemishing their plants.
