Nicotine is a stimulant - it acts upon the nervous system of bugs causing them to be unable to breath and they suffocate. The same is true for humans - if you take in enough nicotine it becomes more difficult to breath - the nicotine contained in smoke is a lower dosage than if you ate the cigarette. DO NOT eat cigarettes or any other tobacco products - they can kill you as easily as they kill bugs.
