okay so my roomate is a smoker. it doesnt bother me for the most part, but she ashes and keeps her cigarettes in water bottles instead of an ashtray. she never throws them away and ive noticed recently that theres a horrible smell coming from them. its not a cigarette smell, its not even a smokey smell. it just smells like poop. like acidic poop. it stings your nose almost. im just wondering if after time, are these cigarrettes (sitting in water) expelling some kind of gas? or something? i throw them away for her but i just want to know if this smell is harmful, or what is it?
i know cigarettes are bad for your health, ect ect i AM NOT A SMOKER so serious answers only.

The smell is just obnoxious, not dangerous, I think some kind of fermentation starts after awhile.
The water in those bottles can be used to spray house plants to rid them of little critters.

Some people keep their cigarette butts in water so there's no fire danger. However, she needs better habits in THROWING THEM AWAY at least once a day.

I think it's just the smell of rotting tobacco in the cigarrettes. High fives for not smoking!
