is it possible to die from nicotine overdose through taking snuff? has any one experienced an over dose or any symptoms?
No, no and no…
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
I am pretty sure that I died the first time I took snuff… because now I am in snuff heaven!
Snuff heaven.!. im on my way there !
You can make yourself feel sick. With any tobacco product.
// BS MODE :ON Overdose, easily yes. PM me and I’ll tell you how. But please, keep it our little secret. //BS MODE: OFF No, only if you would eat 5 kilo within a day.
Ha… good how we can laugh at over dose
Nicotine Poisoning , courtesy of Wikipedia: Historically, most cases of nicotine poisoning have been the result of use of nicotine as an insecticide; however, such use is less frequent now[when?] than previously. Sixty milligrams of nicotine, the amount in about five cigarettes or half a cigar, has the potential to kill an adult who is not a smoker[1] if all of the nicotine were absorbed. This figure is ~120 mg in chronic cigarette smokers, smoking an average of 20 non-light cigarettes delivering ~1.7 mg of nicotine each daily. One cigarette’s-worth of nicotine is enough to make a toddler severely ill. In some cases children have become poisoned by topical medicinal creams which contain nicotine
I saw an episode of CSI where a girl killed her boyfriend by filling his condom with nicotine. It was the insecticide version of nicotine though…
A drop of PURE nicotine will kill a grownup human being. Drops of pure nicotine are not available in the trade.
csi has gone crazy on that one
I once smoked a large cigar that was so good I nubbed it and became sweaty and naseaus after it. I guess that is a sort of overdose. I didn’t learn anything from it because the next time I got one of those I nubbed it again, but with no ill effects because I had eaten first.
One would get violently ill before they killed themselves. So in theory you could OD if you kept using while you vomited… …sort answer is no, you can’t OD with commercial products with normal use.
As shown, too much of anything can kill you, or make you ill. Even water. The point is in the practical forms that people consume tobacco it would take some work to do that kind of damage. Ken
I don’t know about overdose, but the closest I’ve gotten is feeling nauseated and sweaty, similar to a panic attack, from doing snuff and smoking a pipe at the same time. Seriously though, you’d probably have to eat a lot of snuff to die from it.
Enough speculation. Just looked it up…somewhere between .5 and 1 mg of nic per KG of body weight…so if you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg), assuming you are somewhat tolerant to Saint Nic, it would take about 68 mg of nicotine to Die, not to experience the other, very nasty side effects (confusion,chest pain, and seizures being the more severe, pre-death side effects.) To put that in perspective… 60 pinches of snuff into your nose AT ONCE…as your body invariably begins metabolizing nicotine immediately… 7 Snus Portions or 6 or 7 grams of dip…again, not likely as the nicotine must all enter your body at once… or probably around 60 freaking cigarettes…SIMULTANEOUSLY… You would have to be trying to die from nicotine overdose, and if you got that much nicotine in your body, you have more issues than tobacco abuse. *not a doctor, just a nursing student, don’t take my word for it, but for the LOVE OF GOD don’t try it, as the anti-tobacca nazis will use it as a perfect example of why tobacco should be illegal. In fact, I think the useful life of this thread has expired*
Not so fast matsnuffs. We need to take a look at some independent researchers to validate your claims. First up, copenhagenup:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rZ9wAhEuf4Yes folks he is still alive he logged into youtube 6 days ago.
Oh god. That’s. . . vile. . . or something… Okay, that settles it. ODing with nicotine, for all intensive purposes, is impossible.
Anyone whos chawed long enough knows that the hard part of nicotine overdoes is getting your body to absorb it well. For example that video how much of the nicotine is that guy actualy getting into his blood stream?
