In some cases, a mother should not breastfeed for medical reasons. Some consider it to be unacceptable for mothers to breastfeed in public, though if breastfeeding is done in a modest manner, that does not mean the mother should not breastfeed at all in public. Some times it would not be acceptable is during business meetings or while at work, during social occasions when the mother is the center of attention, etc.

Although breast milk is normally better for babies than cows' milk, there are some reasons why a baby should not have its mother's milk. A mother who is using drugs, whether prescribed or not, is often advised not to breastfeed to avoid the baby ingesting the drugs. Some infections may also be a reason to avoid breastfeeding for similar reasons. There are also some instances where the mother is unable to produce milk, or enough milk to be able to breastfeed comfortably. Severe malnutrition might contribute to such a decision if alternative food is available for the baby.

Yes. The mother should take it off for the child's sake. She should sacrifice little things like that if she really wanna breast feed her baby. And please do.
You shouldn't; you don't want the child getting used to your milk. The baby's mother can always pre-pump her breastmilk & give it to you.
She can breastfeed nicotine in her milk which can cause very serious problems with the baby
