I know this is probably crazy, but would it be legal to add nicotine to a, say, a soft drink? How much would need to be added before it became addicting?

- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoNicotine is an emetic.
- gnulinux 8y agoNicotine is pleasurable mostly because it hits you hard but its psychoactive effects are very short lived, which is why smoking is an effective and addictive way to consume nicotine. You smoke, and you feel it for a second, then it's gone. Until you're addicted then you smoke to feel normal. It probably wouldn't be pleasurable drinking it.
- Phillipharryt 8y agoNicotine is a powerful stimulant only when absorbed directly into the bloodstream. The smallest and most convenient barrier into the bloodstream is the membranes in your lungs, hence smoking being and effective delivery method. Dip or nicotine gum methods use the gums to get into the blood stream and do not recommend swallowing any of the juices they produce (why dip users spit so much). Nicotine in the stomach is either destroyed by the acid or irritates the lining n making you feel ill. So drinking it, unless you advised the consumer to hold the drink in their mouth, it wouldn't be very effective.
- joncrane 8y agoNicotine is not orally bioavailable so it's a non-starter. You could add it to temporary tattoos or face paint or something. But that would be borderline evil.
