Wait until they learn about nightshade

The nightshades are at least different species. Their vascular system and general physiology is similar enough that your can graft a potato, tomato, pepper, and tobacco plant together for a full meal and after dinner smoke, but they won't really breed. Cabbage and broccoli can and will cross pollinate.

but they won’t really breed.

Which means no tomacco.
