Sounds like you have an aphid or whitefly problem. Try stirring together a quart of water, a tsp of liquid dish soap and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Spray that on your plants to get rid of pests.
I cannot believe you have no idea what snuff is. It is powered tobacco that the elderly people put in their lip. Personally I could not stand it but many do and I know bugs hate it.
Snuff is a smokeless tobacco made from ground or pulverised tobacco leaves.[1] It is inhaled or "snuffed" into the nasal cavity, delivering a swift hit of nicotine and a lasting flavoured scent (especially if flavouring has been blended with the tobacco).[1] Traditionally it is sniffed or inhaled lightly after a pinch of snuff is either placed onto the back surface of the hand, held pinched between thumb and index finger, or held by a specially made "snuffing" device.
It originated in the Americas and was in common use in Europe by the 17th century. Traditional snuff production consists of a lengthy, multi-step process, in tobacco snuff mills.[1] The selected tobacco leaves are first subject to special tobacco curing or fermentation processes, where they will later provide the individual characteristics and flavour for each type of snuff blend.[1] Snuff is usually scented or flavoured, with many blends of snuff requiring months to years of special storage to reach the required maturity.[1] Typical traditional flavours are varieties of carefully blended tobacco leaves considered original "fine snuff" without any addition of scents or essences,[1] varieties of spice, piquant, fruit, floral, and mentholated (also called "medicated") soon followed, either pure or in blends.[1] Each snuff manufacturer usually has a variety of unique recipes and blends, as well as special recipes for individual customers.[1] Common flavours also include coffee, chocolate, bordeaux, honey, vanilla, cherry, orange, apricot, plum, camphor, cinnamon, rose and spearmint. Modern flavours include Bourbon, Cola and whisky. Traditional classic German snuff blends are the piquant Schmalzler and Brasil.
Snuff comes in a range of texture and moistness, from very fine to coarse, and from toast (very dry) to very moist.[1] Often drier snuffs are ground more finely. There is also a range of tobacco-free snuffs, such as Pöschl's Weiss (White), made from glucose powder or herbs. While strictly speaking these are not snuffs because they contain no tobacco, they are an alternative for those who wish to avoid nicotine, or for "cutting" a strong snuff to an acceptable strength.
The first thing you need to do it identify them. There are plenty of online sites to help you do this. They usually also offer the proper treatment for these pests.
You don't mention if they're house or garden plants. There are assorted natural predators for your outdoor plants that don't bother people, like ladybugs, praying mantis, etc. Some people claim these critters can bite, but I've held them many times and have never been bitten by any of them. These predators avoid the dangers of chemicals and can be purchased online.
Indoor plants, on the other hand, are trickier. You obviously don't want to realease a bunch of predator bugs in your house, but most indoor pests hate being misted down regularly, but most plants love it. Also wiping off the leaves and stems of a plant with a mild dish detergent works wonders. Depending on the type of your plant, some can even be cut off and the infected branches carefully disposed of, avoiding contact with any healthy plants.
I am a farmer in the Caribbean and we have more bugs than one could imagine. I farm organically. SO....I use a spray of a light oil such as Mineral Oil, liquid soap and some baking soda. The oil suffocates the eggs and sometimes the bugs. The soap has fatty acids that eat away at the exoskeleton of the bug (like a shell) and the baking soda takes care of fungus. If you want, cut up some onion and garlic, bring some water to a boil and toss in and let cool over night. Strain that water with some Scott type towel to avoid small bits that would clog up you sprayer and add to the mix above. THAT REALLY gets bugs and fungus. But do not make any of this too strong. To a gallon of water only add tablespoons of each but the garlic/onion water...half and half with fresh water. Nothing is ever 100% unless you are using things like Touchdown which will kill you too! DON"T use it. I always plant for the bugs. Good luck!!

Some people buy snuff and sprinkle on their plants to get rid of bugs. I know this works great on Beedles.
