@nico: Wiki says it's "oily liquid". But let's make it 50 mg.– QuassnoiCommented Sep 14, 2012 at 11:09

3LArge quantities of nicotine are very harmful. There is nearly enough in two packs of cigarettes to kill you if it was all taken at once. But, the nicotine receptors that provide pleasure from smoking self saturate, limiting the desire for more until the nicotine has been metabolised. And the body clears it moderately quickly. This almost eliminates the likelihood of nicotine poisoning from smoking unless you force yourself to smoke several packets very quickly (this has happened and people have died).– matt_blackCommented Sep 15, 2012 at 13:29

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
