Hi John,

I had heard that there is enough nicotine in one fag to kill about
nine people! It's just that in order to have this effect, it must
be inject directly into the blood stream. I believe I read this
in an article that was comparing various toxins though the idea
was to show how deadly the toxin in Japanese puffer fish is.
