I called the vet right away and she did tell me how toxic nicotine was... Fortunately(?), the butts he swallowed was only the filter part. And I didn't want to make him throw up b/c he was still a puppy.
He's totally grown out of that stage now and when he see them now, he'll just sniff at it and move on. I get annoyed with some of the things people just toss away on the sidewalks/streets though. He almost swallowed gum and other gross things.
