Tobacco Mosaic Virus

I'm worried that my petunia has Tobacco Mosaic Virus due to the mottled discoloration on both the leaves and the flowers. I think that I may need to throw out this plant to prevent it from spreading to other plants, especially to my tomatoes, which fortunately are far away from both this plant and the ashtray that was sitting next to it! I will no longer be keeping an ashtray near my plants. Also, I need to remember to wash my hands after picking up cigarette butts/smoking.
