      eggplant does. they’re cousins of tobacco.

      actually, you can cure and boil eggplant foliage to brew a nicotine based pest spray.

      though, you’re better off using tobacco instead.

      They contain the mildly to moderately toxic alkaloid tomatine lol, you’re gonna become a medical case study if you smoke the leaves.

        This is from wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt, but you’d have to ingest over half a kilogram to get toxic and not lethal doses so as long as you smoke the tomato leaves in moderation, test away!

          Yeah it’s not super well researched, but ingestion and inhalation dosages can be extremely different. Hence you’d likely be the subject of a case study as it would be a significant addition to the medical literature on tomatine toxicity in humans.
