Tobacco is the most widely grown commercial non-food plant in the world. All parts of the plant, especially its leaves, contain the toxic alkaloids nicotine and anabasine, and can be fatal if eaten.

Tobacco use causes more than 5 million deaths per year, making it perhaps the most deadly plant in the world
