Tobacco very rarely kills due to acute toxicity though. I mean, technically nicotine is a very potent and lethal toxin, but it's also so quickly absorbed and so nauseating that you have to go out of your way to extract the nicotine and take it through means that don't allow purging it from your body to even have a chance at reaching those toxicity levels.
In other words, hemlock and tobacco are toxic in very different ways and it's a bit strange to say one is more toxic than the other at all. Accidental tobacco poisoning is hardly a thing at all.
