No kidding, caffeine pills can kill you. But most deaths are sleep apnea related, not actual overdoses (the LD 50 is ridiculous - like 50 grams or so). And eating filter-free cigarettes is much better for you than smoking them. The amount of nictotine in a cigarette is minute - about 1.1 mg, and your body would absorb that much more slowly than inhaling it. I don't see how you could possibly die from an overdose that way.
EDIT: Okay, so it's not 50 grams. Wikipedia says 192 mg/kg, which would be approximately 12-18 g. That's still more than a whole bottle of pills.
