I never smoked or chewed snuff in the garden because of mosaic. It only gets cucurbits, I think. Melons and cukes and stuff.
I don't think you'd need to worry about smoke at all, Pete. Spitting snuff and touching the plants with stinky fingers is probably a bad idea.
I wiped out a whole crop of melons and cukes once. I did it by handling the vines in the morning while I was training them. It was 20 some-odd years ago, so I don't remember the details. I'm just more cautious now.
