I'm currently researching an idea where I'd like to find out if there is any chemical we can put in toothpaste that would react badly with tobacco smoke?


The idea is that smokers can just brush their teeth as anyone would normally do, but when they light up a cigarette it would taste awful. So the actual question is, of all the stuff that's in tobacco, is there anything we can make react that is 


1. safe to put in toothpaste.
2. reacts solely by giving a bad taste.
3. doesn't let that bad taste last for longer than 10 minutes.


I just want to know if this is technically possible since I don't have a background in chemistry. Thanks for your help!
