As its name implies, the cigarette beetle is a pest of dried tobacco either in the stored, bundled form or in cigars, cigarettes, and chewing tobacco. It also feeds on book bindings and leaves. The larval stages of the cigarette beetle can feed on a variety of stored products including grain, cereal products, ginger, raisins, dates, pepper, dried fish, drugs, and seeds.

Illoki is right ... tobacco beetles do not live on tobacco leaf only. Unlike some humans, they are not hooked on nocotine.

No, it will wear its patch dilligently and give up cigarettes and nicotine addiction and move on to cigars which are non-addictive
