I do not recommend using tobacco on or around your plants. Even handling tobacco with your hands and then touching your plants puts them at risk for Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) - not harmful to humans but can seriously hurt your plants & yield.
Thanks Buddha! I actually got the same advice from the owner of my local Hydro store. So don't worry I forgot about that comment and have never or will never let that foul substance near my plants!
Managed to control the mites with the bacteria I mentioned though, not get rid of them, but controlled it very well.
