Only 60 mg of pure nicotine (contained in two packs of cigarettes) placed on a persons
tongue would kill within minutes
Nicotine is contained in the moisture of the tobacco leaf: when the cigarette is lit, it evaporates,
attaching itself to minute droplets in the tobacco smoke inhaled by the smoker. It is absorbed by
the body very quickly, reaching the brain within 7-! seconds.
It stimulates the central nervous system, increasing the heart beat rate and blood pressure,
leading to the heart needing more o"ygen. #arbon mono"ide is present in all cigarette smoke.
