Sorry you can’t apply dried tobacco leaves as fertilizer to your herb garden. Instead you can use the tobacco as an insecticide (usage: boil the tobacco, keep overnight and dilute some bar soap into it and spray to the plants while insects attack.)

    Any tobacco may have some tobacco mosaic virus in it which can infect some of your plants that are in the tobacco family including tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and potatoes.
