Getting rid of Whitefly

tobacco of any kind is not a good idea. it was used in the Victorian age,
it
will kill all insects including the good ones. and all so it was found to
be
detrimental to the gardeners who had to use it. and that is why it fell in
to disuse. hope this helps you.

Isn't tobacco also bad for tomatoes?

try using a mild detergent and water, spray it on, then repeat the process for the next few days. Good luck.
