Are cats attracted to the smell of cigarettes?
No, most cats hate the smell of cigarettes. Most animals, in general, hate the smell of cigarettes, because they are toxic and essentially poisonous. That is why animals don't drink alcohol, either: alcohol is essentially a poison. Unlike humans, animals cannot override their primal instinct to stay away from toxic substances. Humans ingest toxic substances like tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs, because they make us feel good. Our desire to take pleasure in these toxic substances overrides our primal instinct to stay away from anything toxic. Animals don't have the brain capacity to take pleasure in toxic substances. An animal can get drunk or high, but it probably won't enjoy it. It will just be frightened by the effects. Ironically, the higher intelligence that humans possess enables us to make the rather stupid decision to deliberately ingest toxic substances, just because they make us feel good.
