Tomato cultivars vary widely in their resistance to disease. [[Tobacco mosaic virus]] is a common problem, so smoking and the use of [[tobacco]] products should be kept away from tomatoes.[http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG1168.html] Different forms of [[mildew]] and [[blight]] are also often tomato afflictions, which accounts for why tomato cultivars usually get marked with letters like [[VFN]], which indicate its disease resistance. V = ''[[verticillium]]'' [[Wilting|wilt]] resistance, F = ''[[fusarium]]'' [[fungus]], FF = Race 1 and Race 2 fusarium, T = tobacco mosaic virus, N = [[nematode]]s, A = alternaria leaf spot, and L = septoria leaf spot.
