Best Answer

That it contains chemicals that are harmful to the health of animals or other plants. This is certainly true of tobacco, as it contains nicotine -- among other things -- which is a fairly potent poison. Between 40 and 50 mg. of pure nicotine is fatal to adult humans (roughly the amount in two packs of cigarettes) if taken all at once.

What are some cold and hot resistant toxins?

When you say toxin, I am assuming you mean organic toxins from bacteria or viruses. In general toxins are not destroyed by cooling.On the other end, a high enough temperature can destroy any organic toxin; so, heat stability is a relative term that is reserved for those toxins that can remain active at temperatures where most other toxins would be irreversibly deactivated.Some examples of heat stable toxins are: enterotoxin from Staphylococcal enteritis, ciguatoxin-CTX1B from Gambierdiscus toxicus, and the antigen CD24 from B-lymphocytes.
