you should never contaminate your plants with cigarette smoke and always practice good hand washing after doing so bfore handling your babies this is a very tricky situation but, you may intrduce problems to your garden
 
Here is the best information I can find on the subject .. this question seems to come up a lot.

Like humans and other animals, plants need sufficient nutrients to function and to grow. If the plant is deprived of these nutrients, it is unable to go through the chemical processes related to its survival and growth. Cigarettes contain more than 4,000 different chemicals, including arsenic (used as rat poison), butane (lighter fluid) and formaldehyde (fluid used in embalming). Some of these chemicals actually may benefit the plant. Carbon monoxide, for example, is able to be converted by the plant into carbon dioxide, which the plant can use readily for photosynthesis.

In general, however, most chemicals released during smoking contaminate the soil and air surrounding the plant to such a degree over time that the plant eventually cannot absorb sufficient amounts of the nutrients needed to sustain itself and to grow.

I would take this position, that the toxins and potential damage are not worth the benefits of a brief amount of CO2. But in all practical terms, the effect ( either way ) is probably very small and unnoticeable.
