How many packs of electronic cigarettes refills would it take to kill you if ingested?

An e-cigarette cartilage (one electric cigarette) can be filled with a solution containing different amounts of nicotine. On average, one contains about 3.6mg of nicotine. For an adult, who is a non-smoker, about 60mg would be fatal. So about 17 electric cigarettes, smoked in short succession could kill someone. However due to a number of factors (such as the absorption of the nicotine, the person's tolerance, and the density of the nicotine solution) it would probably take more to deliver a fatal dose.


Why does nicotine kill bugs?

Nicotine is a stimulant - it acts upon the nervous system of bugs causing them to be unable to breath and they suffocate.

DO NOT eat cigarettes or any other tobacco products - they can kill you as easily as they kill bugs.
