In addition to having people not smoke or use any other tobacco products in the garden, it's important for people who do smoke to wash their hands before working in the garden to avoid transmitting diseases to tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and other nightshade family members.
If there are a lot of people with the nicotine addiction who want to garden, it might be possible to set up a garden at a separate site which was far from any other garden which could be damaged. Then any gardeners who wanted to grow tomatoes, etc and also use tobacco could make a point to stick to the virus resistant varieties. Even this might not always work as sometimes the resistance only holds out for part of the season. If they are seed savers they may also be able to develop more resistant varieties over the years with the continued exposure to the viruses.
