The only thing I've heard will kill TMV immediately is soil sterilization ­ 
which, I believe, leaves your soil useless for a couple years.  It also kills all 
the good bacteria, good bugs, etc., etc., etc. (my organic soap-box, here).

TMV is persistent in the soil for five years.

So ­ avoid using any tobacco products in your garden, compost, etc.!!
