The LD50 of nicotine is less than even cyanide. Is that not considered a deadly chemical either?

  That's not an answer to the question I just asked. Can you hazard a guess? 2010-2017 deaths from acute nicotine toxicity. How many do you think there were?

    In complete agreement with your position, but I'll be damned if the suspense in this dialog isn't maddening. Privy us with enlightenment and citation already, please.

      I'm asking because I don't know. It's probably pretty obvious that I think the number is pretty low, maybe even lower than the caffeine number (people have died taking too many no-doz pills; can you nicotine patch yourself to death without making yourself look like a mummy?)

        Fair enough. Genuinely thought you had access to a database of reported ICD-10-CM codes that you could query for T65.2[1] instances. [1] https://icd.codes/icd10cm/T652 https://icd.codes/icd10cm/T652
