It's the same as giving him a small lego to go to bed with really if he's biting the tips off. A choking hazard is a choking hazard. Man, how hard and long does he have to be chewing on that thing to bite it off. Man!
Maybe he's teething?
My sons used to get cracked after they got old enough, just like bottle nipples can do so I had to keep an eye on them.
He never chewed on them though! That's just nuts. I'd give mom the bits and say no more, not only is it a choking hazard for him but what if he bites off an end and spits it out on the floor for another peanut to choke on!
