Its probly ok if it's dry, if its wet I can see some of the nicotine leaching into the soil.

NO don't do that. Cigarettes are so bad for us that they can't be anygood for your plants with all those chemicals from the tobacco farm.

One more vote for trash it. Soil isn't expensive, get some new dirt!

You risk infecting your plants with Tobacco Mosaic Virus.

If you have a "shit load" of cigarette butts in your soil than it ain't "really good soil"
