Holy smokes!

I've seen lots of weird things, but this beats all.  There was a face-off for this goody, two tobacco- attracted chickadees. The stronger of the two got the goods.  BUTT is this safe for a chickadee??  The bird flew the catch up to a branch.

... and ate the insides.

 I was horrified by this. A nicotine addicted chickadee?  Do they routinely go for this?  How can I pick up all butts on the the sidewalk?  On the other hand maybe there's something I don't know.
What happens when they find a reefer butt?
