Do they like smoking, can they work their way up if its otherwise poisonous like that Three Musketeers thing

I'm asking if they like and or get addicted to it, not whether its good for them since its technically a pesticide. Its also a humicide long term

No. I quit quite a while back.

We can also outlive you puny humans.
Just like we have outlived most of your ancestors; including those loud, humongous, hot-headed beasts.
Yes, we can....and we will.

Tobacco can be used as insecticide against roaches, so probably not.

If they DO enjoy it, it won't be for long.

Or is ot like a "the dose makes the medicine and the poison" kinda thing?

The reason tobacco plants produce nicotine is to kill bugs munching on them. It's possible a very low dose could be enjoyable to a bug but nowhere near the doses associated with smoking.
