The nicotine in cigarettes is a known poison. "Sixty milligrams of nicotine (about the amount in three or four cigarettes if all of the nicotine were absorbed) will kill an adult, but consuming only one cigarette's worth of nicotine is enough to make a toddler severely ill!"

Answer 2

maninmidohio, your link is inaccurate.

There is usually less than 1mg of nicotine in a cigarette, therefore it would be over 3 packets(20s). For the nicotine to be absorbed sufficiently, they would have to be eaten.
