Polonium occurs naturally in the soil and in the air and ALL plants absorb it from both. The amount obviously varies from place to place.

So the answer is YES - possibly from the tobacco and possibly from the 'fresh air' that is by far the major constituent of tobacco smoke. There could be also be some from cooking fumes, especially from frying, grilling and BBQing, and in the fresh fruit and vegetables we eat.

We can find no references regarding Polonium (a radioactive element) being in any way beneficial to addicts. Quite the reverse, in fact.
