With respect. Even though the thread title leaves things wide open. I admit to my contentious nature, though i must acknowledge the perception required to misinterpret my posts in this thread as basis for anything other than enlightened discussion, save for the last couple. My bad.

There is no doubt in my mind, that you are passionate about your garden and want only the best for your babies (who wouldn't)? But if smoking near the plants has no visible detriment, and it is inconvenient to smoke elsewhere, then why not? If, however, you notice that smoking around the plants causes them to lose yield or wither away into nothing, obviously, this would be cause for concern.

Well sir, you have demonstrated beyond anyones doubt that you are indeed quite learned. Congrats, and good luck with your project/thesis. I happen to have the fortune of being born to someone who did their masters thesis on Polyploidy using Bluebonnets as the subject. She'd slap me silly if she caught me smoking in her greenhouse. LOL.

To the OP. I apologize for taking part in stinking up your thread with all the tobacco talk. Please give me audience to impart my sincerest apologies and honor me by accepting some superlative rep for being a man and stickin' up for yourself.
