Only once. Tobacco is highly poisonous. The tobacco from a cigarette butt kan kill a child.

One time when I was a drunk dumb teen I ate half a cigarette and I didn’t die. Didn’t even feel anything. I hear that thing about a cig butt killing a child a lot, I wonder if anyone has a source?
Disclaimer: it’s not a good idea either way

You are an adult (mostly), not a child/toddler. Yes, there are sources.

This CDC article about a study from the 90s looked at 90 children who had ingested cigarette butts. Although some had to be hospitalized, all recovered fully within 12 hours.
So, yeah, definitely not a good idea.

So I just did a bit of research on it and according to Wikipedia and several journals it seems to be definitely possible for someone to die from nicotine poisoning. The wiki article cites two child deaths. I also found at least one article where nicotine poisoning was deemed the cause of death. Warning, it does contain shots of ther person’s dissected esophagus and their stomach contents. There’s a NLM journal article that pops up on a child committing suicide by nicotine ingestion, but the article was missing. So I can say it definitely does happen. I just couldnt find any readily available mortality studies showing how often it happens.
As for anecdotal evidence, I had a client with Pica, who would eat cigarette butts among other things and be vomiting all night.

My hypothesis: the clickbait factoid might be talking about the amount of nicotine that exists in a cigarette butt, which might be different from what a child would practically get in their bloodstream after eating said butt.

“Standard textbooks, databases, and safety sheets consistently state that the lethal dose of nicotine for adults is 60 mg or less (30–60 mg), but there is overwhelming data indicating that more than 500 mg of oral nicotine is required to kill an adult.[7]” – Source "The average cigarette contains about 10 to 12 mg of nicotine. " – 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.

Not a good idea. Such a broth can be used as a pesticide but it’s also dangerous to humans and animals. Nicotine also absorbs through the skin so, anyone trying this (which I can’t recommend but for it’s dangers and general lack of need for pesticides in home gardens) should be extremely careful and use all PPE (durable waterproof gloves, goggles, long sleeves, trousers, and waterproof footwear, as well as respirator if there’s any chance of aerosolizing) when applying. Seriously. While it has been used historically by home gardeners, the toxicity is no joke.
And, always remember: Proper PPE is sexy.

Sorry not gonna read all that, but I assume my smoker buddies will love my homemade cigarestershire sauce!

Not going to read all that, it was barely a paragraph long, what’s wrong, TikTok got your brain in a vice

Exactly what I said. But you missed the bit about Virginia-Perique blends.

One more idea of this kind and I’ll boil your potato chips and a game console. Obviously you’ll like them boiled no less than in standard variants.

I mean, I do like that new electronics smell. Not sure if it pairs well with the mountain dew reduction, though.

I can’t remember which episode it is, but there’s an episode of one of Anthony Bourdain’s shows where he visits a restaurant run by his friend.
This chef is serving a massive multi-course meal, something like 10+ courses, and knows that Bourdain is a heavy smoker. So at one point he brings out the next course and tells Bourdain something along the lines of “And this one is made with tobacco, so you won’t try and get up in the middle of my dinner and go smoke”.
I guess if the dose is low enough and the tobacco is mixed with the right foods, it could possibly make for an interesting flavour combination.

Someone needs to try putting tobacco in a tea diffuser and report back

This is extremely dangerous and can kill. Not joking. Probably best that you delete this comment so that you are not accountable if police go looking.

Damn nicotine poisoning does not look fun
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
True. 3 cigarettes contain enough nicotine to kill one.

Mmmmmm, arsenic tea…

LOL this reminds me, my friend ran a web server and decided that the smoking section at work was disgusting. So he started to take picture of it whitewomanblackdog.com/…/ashtray_autopsy.html
much of the time the water in that thing was so disgusting… we joked about making meals with it

Quotable quotes - “”NSFW”” depending on your text size settings, maybe

Did you mean to post a link to the index or a deeper link? Looks like the website is employing… URL cloaking, I once saw it called?
Nowadays we see that all the time on mobile where a website pushes a special URL when we use the share sheet, but manually copying the URL out of the address bar remains unaffected.
Not in this case though!

yeah, it was just his project page and some of the folders don’t have an index redirect. IDK what web server he’s using but that page is hosted in his basement

I'm trying not to imagine how awful that must smell.
Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
Unburned tobacco smells lovely. Walk into a cigar shop’s humidor to learn what I mean.

Used to belong to a Homebrewing forum (beer, not computer servers), and they had monthly post about someone wanting to infuse their beer with tobacco. Which is where I learned that it will kill ya dead. Tobacco can be used externally to reduce swelling, chew on a wasp sting will prevent a lot of it. Or if you’re looking for trouble late in life I guess you could smoke it also, though that one seems a great deal less compelling to me.
Re-iterate - Don’t eat any food made with tobacco, it will harm you at the very least.
