If your kitty regurgitated the entire amount of cigarette immediately there should be no problem. I would monitor Millie for lethargy and other signs of illness, and if you see any, she needs to be taken to a petER immediately. However, I do not anticipate any problems due to her vomiting immediately after ingesting the cigarette.
