" – Source I guess it depends on your definition of “cigarette butt”.

I was not talking about adults, but children. Especially of toddlers, who put a lot of things into their mouths. There have been confirmed deaths of toddlers from chewing on cigarette butts, but I’m to lazy to dig out references just for your enterteinment.

Cool.
So you just skipped over that whole third part, eh?
OK, so for future reference: in this part of the world, “cigarette butt” refers to the filter and optionally whatever remaining tobacco is unburnt after the cigarette is finished.
Hence “depends on your definition”.
