Without being qualified to say so, I would guess that you most certainly can od with nicotine.

Yes, you can overdose on nicotine, it is a very powerful toxin, and in fairly small amounts can be fatal. If you are feeling light headed and feel it if from the fake cigarette machine, then lay off the fugazi camel for a while.

There is enough pure nicotine in a single cigarette to kill several people if it is all absorbed into the blood stream.

A brief foray into google says you can.
First-aid measures and management principles
There are no known antidotes. Immediate establishment of an airway, monitoring of breathing patterns, and maintenance of circulation are essential in cases of serious overdose. Preparations for possible seizures or rapid progression to coma and artificial ventilation procedures should be kept ready, oxygen may be required. If vomiting has not occurred following nicotine ingestion, remove stomach contents by gastric lavage. Induction of emesis is less preferable to lavage since convulsions or coma may intervene. Single or multiple doses of activated charcoal may be used. Children who ingest more than one cigarette should receive activated charcoal and medical observation for at least several hours. If nicotine is spilled on the skin, immediately wash thoroughly with running water (avoid warm water). Seizure activity and agitation can be controlled with diazepam or barbiturates. Cholinergic symptoms may be ameliorated with atropine. |

It's pretty poisonous in a large enough dose... which actually isn't that large at all... about 50mg for an adult, IIRC. ETA - replicators posted it while I was hitting up da Google.

Dude, just go to the doctor and get a prescription for Chantix. 7 days later, you're an ex-smoker. One year for me this month, with no real side effects. smoked for 35+ years and tried everything.
Amazing.

Nicotine is a very lethal drug. It has a very low LD50 compared to many other toxins.
Soak a pack of cigarettes in a mug and drink the water, I dare you.  |

Quoted: There is enough pure nicotine in a single cigarette to kill several people if it is all absorbed into the blood stream. There is usually less than 2 mg of nicotine in a cigarette, far below the dose to kill even one person. Even ingesting a cigarette will not do anything to an adult, though that amount will make a small child sick. |

When you smoke, most of the nicotine burns away.
If you can extract nicotine into it's pure oily form, you can make poison darts. |

I remember reading in one of those Anarchist's Cookbook type books that you can make poison by soaking cigarettes in water, and boiling the water off. The residue left is lethal.

When I was a MP on Okinawa ('96-'97), a big concern at the time was feral dogs (and to a lesser extent cats) on base. I don't know if the problem was ferals getting onto base from town or keeping ferals from getting out into town (the USMC wanted to try to maintain good relations with the locals, which wasn't always easy). We had (exactly) one dart rifle which was used to shoot feral dogs on sight. It fired a nicotine dart which killed the dog. In practical terms, I don't think it was ever used in the year I was there because a (bigger) concern was that because it took a while to kill the dog, it would run around and the dart could be lost (which could result in a REALLY bad day if a little kid subsequently found it).
So yeah, nicotine will kill ya. ETA: AWESOME AVATAR, PATCHOULI! We have a copy of Jacques-Louis David's Oath of the Horatii here at the Toledo Museum of Art and it has long been one of my favorites! |

Or does it really stop the body from craving for nicotine? It's a pill that you take and ramp up the dosage over a few days. It's not a nicotine substitute like gum or patches. It actually inhibits the receptors in the brain. And, at the same, time stimulates those same receptors so you don't feel the edginess that comes from normal withdrawal symptoms. Not for everybody, but I had no real side effects. visit here: http://www.chantix.com/ Good luck.

LD50 for pure nicotine is 6 drops IIRC, meaning that 6 drops on your skin and you have 50/50 chance of dieing.
I vape 36 in a 5v device, if the e cig is new to you yes you can get the lightheaded feeling you used to get when you first started smoking. You can get PG ( pharm grade ) from Wallgreens and cut that 24 down a bit if it's too much for ya. |

Here is what will happen...it is similar to alcohol poisoning.
I have suffered both of these several times. 1. You feel lightheaded 2. You feel happy 3. Your stomach begins to hurt 4. You feel nauseous 5. You sweat PROFUSELY, soak your clothes 6. You feel hot or cold...sometimes both alternating 7. You feel like throwing up again while sweating 8. You finally throw up 9. You still feel sick for several hours. This is what happened the time I had 14 beers in 3 hours, and another time I smoked a whole Tatiana pretty quickly. |
