Nicotine is toxic to dogs, and can be fatal to dogs. Ghost peppers are merely an upset stomach. A quick google search will enlighten you, but if you like your dog keep the cigars away from him. A cigar contains between 15 and 40 milligrams of nicotine. A toxic level for dogs is about 5 milligrams per pound of body weight. A LETHAL level will be 10 milligram of nicotine per pound of body weight. Something you should know.
My neighbor has a Pit Bull, and there were construction workers putting a deck on his house. These were young guys that liked to "chew" and spit the old tobacco, and juices into the grass. Can you see where this is going ? It was the wintergreen or minty kind that must have smelled good to the dog and he ate a bunch of it. Luckily it only made the "toxic" level and the dog just got pretty sick, But those guys definitely heard about it. And paid the Vet bill.
