No. Tobacco is a naturally derived substsnce.

plus chemical additives

And the argument that something is non-harmful because it's naturally
derived is fallacious..

The ash would in fact
be benificial.

In what way would flicked cigarette ash be beneficial?

One could argue that the residual nicotine (if any) is harmful to
greenfly.
