Similarly from overgrow FAQ: watch out for TMV though..: Never done it, never had whitefly:
Never spray with HIDs on, and use appropriate protective gear Other homemade chemicals If you smoke cigarettes, you can also make a spray with a small amount of dish soap, and some tobacco. The nicotine is extremely toxic, and will kill the bugs if they come in contact with it. Break a bunch of cigarettes up and soak the tobacco in water overnight. Beware of the possibility of TMV (tobacco mosaic virus), unless you boil your solution for ~20 minutes (after adding the tobacco) to kill the virus. Let cool, add your few drops of detergent and voila. Strain it, spray it

i have some spider mites at the moment, if they come back after the last serving i gave them, ill try this and let u know :)
Palmolive and water always worked for me, i never tried ciggerettes but its worth a try.
it will kill most of them but it is definitely not a cure and they will be back.
Here we put a dillplant next to our tomatoes and other plants..it DOES work..no insect problems & the tomatoes are looking beautiful this year.
will this work or no?
Yes it will. It will work to control them like all other natural methods, but it is a never ending cycle.
To kill them once and finally, use a No Pest Strip or Avid. Search man. Read the thread "spider mites".
