Ahh yes... this could be true, but the lethal nicotine dose for an average size dog is close to a whole pack of cigarettes. If he ate a couple flakes, he's probably fine, might just have an upset stomach for an hour or two.

Despite Dr. Woodward's analysis, if you suspect your dog actually ate any tobacco a vet visit would be a good idea. I'm pretty sure those are cigars in those pictures and not cigarettes. Cigars contain 400% or more of the nicotine in the average cigarette. If he just chewed them(which it looks like he did), then he may be ok. But if he ate any then it is a serious matter.

Bob is not only wise, but often bases his posts on fact. I'd go with Bob on this one.

Gee, then what are mine based on? Hallucinations?

The site he posted pretty much says almost exactly what I said anyway...

from the link

a 40lb dog would get very sick after eating one cigarette but would need 11 cigarettes to actually die from nicotine poisoning.
