Nicotine in water suppy?

If tons of cigarette ends are washed into the sewage system due to people throwing butts into the street since the smoking ban, doesn't that mean more nicotine in the water supply? Can water treatment facilities filter out the poison?

No, most of the nicotine gets filtered out before the water gets to us.

yes
