Makes sense, this is why nicotine based pesticides work so good at killing everything including fungus or bacteria. Tomatoes even make their own to ward off pests!

Yep, the only downside to this, when it comes to oral tobacco is that the "dead pieces" of bacteria in the oral cavity might be causing perodondosis at certain ages -

But it's a good thing, especially if nicotine kills the "bad" bacteria, fungus and other parasites in the body.
