I do not know whether nicotine is a good insecticide for cp or not. But:
1g of tobacco contains about 10mg of nicotine. About 3mg are contained in
the smoke and 70 to 95 percent of these 3mg are absorbed by your lungs.
The lethal dose of nicotine for an adult is about 50mg.
As nicotine is metabolized quickly by the liver the lethal dose can not by
reached by smoking the adequat number of cigarettes but only by injection or
ingestion.
Do not try it out. ;-) Jens
