Tobacco contains harmala alkaloids, probably not in a high concentration but enough to exhibit some effects (pure nicotine is much less addictive than tobacco). But serotonin syndrome doesn't seem to be a complication of smoking even while on high doses of SSRIs and probably many doctors won't even know about the MAOI properties of tobacco. Why? I would have thought that the quick onset through the lungs would make the MAOI even more dangerous.
