Incorrect. It is also used as a pesticide and is highly poisonous to humans.[0] You don't get to make that decision for me, do whatever you want in your own home but on public property cut it out with the bullshit. If you can't go a few hours with that drug maybe you need to reevaluate your life.
"In December 2002, approximately 250 lbs. of ground beef was adulterated with nicotine sulfate by a supermarket employee and subsequently sold to the public. Soon afterward, reports of illness associated with ground beef purchased at a single store were identified. Authorities suspected the ground beef was tainted with Black Leaf 40, a banned pesticide containing approximately 40% nicotine as nicotine sulfate"

- adrusi 11y agoNicotine is deadly in high doses, and a "high dose" of nicotine is pretty small. If you extracted all the nicotine from an average cigarette and took it intravenously, I imagine that would be enough to kill an average person. But the dose makes the poison and nobody consumes nicotine in such high doses, and you can't accidentally overdose through any of the ways that people intentionally consume it, because it makes you extremely nauseous before it gets dangerous. I don't consume any nicotine containing products, though, and I have never had a nicotine addiction. That's just an assumption you jumped to.
