It's not weird for some species to incorporate toxins from their diet as defenses: poison dart frogs, monarch butterflies, sea slugs, etc
But let's get weird and circuitous with it
#Nicotine was developed by plants to kill insects. As a quirk of #neurochemistry, humans use it addictively, so cigarette butts are everywhere
Birds have figured out they can use them in their nests to repel insect parasites
The original intention of nicotine
Weird!

Haha I worked with a consultant who did something similar. He was responsible for building cinemas in the Midwest portion of the USA. When he completed a cinema and ticked off all of the boxes he'd go around and unscrew some light bulbs, pull some carpet to leave a wrinkle, and leave protective film on one of the poster cases. He did this so the dumbass execs didn't make him redo a row of seating because they thought it at the wrong angle or something.
