The main chemical in all plants is cellulose, with a mixture of other polysaccharides. Then there are water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.
All plants synthesise a number, usually around 40-100, of allelochemicals to ward off predators, for reproduction, etc. Nicotine is one such allelochemical produced by the tobacco plant (and in smaller quantities by the potato, tomato, bell pepper, egg-plant and some teas).
All of the quoted 'nasties' like Mercury, arsenic, lead, polonium, etc. are absorbed from the environment, as is equally the case for ALL plants, including 'healthy' fruit and vegetables.
