Kum, I think you were exhibiting some of the nicotine poisoning symptoms. Maybe one too many pris or portions? Here are some of the symptoms from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_poisoning

Death
Vomiting and nausea, diarrhea
Headaches
Difficulty breathing
Pallor
Sweating
Palpitations
Stomach pains/cramps
Seizures
Weakness
Drooling

This is hard to believe since the lethal dosage according to the text corresponds to about 15 - 20 portions a day.

From: http://www.wisegeek.com/is-nicotine-dangerous.htm

According to Poison/Toxicology by Jay Arena, the lethal dosage of nicotine for a 150 pound (68kg) male is 60mg. This is less than both arsenic and strychnine. American cigarettes contain approximately 9mg of nicotine each (compare with 19mg in a New Zealand cigarette), but after burning, only about 1mg enters the body over the course of smoking an entire cigarette. While this results in amounts well below the lethal dosage, over time this poison can weaken the immune system and cause fatigue and other minor maladies.

i go through about that many a day sometimes more...ouldnt be the problem..but then again i have a high tolerance for alot of things...

No it's not. Far less of the nicotine is actually taken up by the body...

Important research results on Swedish snus:

* Less than half the amount of nicotine present in a pinch of snus is extracted during snus use.
* Only 10-20 % of the nicotine present in a pinch of snus is absorbed via the mucous membrane and reaches the systemic circulation. This means that only 1-2 mg of nicotine is absorbed into the blood from a one gram pinch containing ca 10 mg of nicotine.
* Nicotine is absorbed quite rapidly from Swedish snus.
* Studies on Swedish snus users have shown that the plasma steady-state levels of nicotine and its main metabolite, cotinine, are similar in Swedish snus users and cigarette smokers.
* Snus users and cigarette smokers, who have similar blood nicotine levels, have reported similar levels of subjective dependence on tobacco.
* The total nicotine uptake (dose) measured as the excretion of nicotine and its metabolites per 24 hours is similar in habitual snus users and cigarette smokers, i.e. 25 mg.
* In contrast to cigarette smokers, snus users do not compensate their nicotine uptake when switching to a low nicotine product. A decrease of the nicotine content of snus by 50 % results in a decrease of the nicotine uptake by about 50 %.
* An experimental cross-over study of blood plasma levels obtained after controlled snus use of four different portion-packed snus products of various weight and format, different nicotine content and different pH values showed that the nicotine intake varies between 0.4 and 1.2 mg per pinch.

ha ha ha.. I would know depending on the day of my "cycle".

as for the ODing info... that seems a bit lowballed... maybe its for ppl who have no immunity to nicotine?

[bearcat87]

I wonder what they constitute a pinch to be? Is it a gram, half gram? That could really change some of the statements on that site.

[texasmade]

lol
and...yea no immunity would suck also

and according to what sage found...it would take about...roughly 3 to 4 tins of snus to od...haha super snuser

Correction:

the lethal dosage of nicotine is not 60mg per day but 60mg in one sitting which is like smoking 60 cigs in a couple of minutes or different way of saying it would be having 60 mg of nictotine in the body an any instance.

[JBean]

ah.. that makes much more sense...

so.. an IV of nicotine would be bad idea I'm assuming

not at all =)
as long as you dont inject 60mg at once
