Question
ok we are having a science fair project and i need help finding out info for " How does Cigarette smoke Affects plants?"

Answer
Hi Natalie
 Are you required to design an experiment for this project.  If so you will have a problem finding out about the effects of smoke.  How will you get the smoke.  You certainly cannot smoke and blow smoke on plants.  There have been studies where cigarettes ahve been chopped up and the tobacco put in the soil.  Here is a rather long reference

When you come up with your hypothesis let me know and I will help you design your experiment
