Tobacco plants have evolved mechanisms, such as storage compartments and detoxification enzymes, to prevent the toxic compounds produced in their cells from causing harm. These mechanisms help to sequester or neutralize the toxins, allowing the plant to thrive despite producing harmful substances. Additionally, the toxins produced by tobacco plants may serve a defensive purpose against herbivores while not affecting the plant itself.
