Enter the nicotini: Smoking ban leads to tobacco-infused drink
By Scott Wyman Staff Writer Posted July 30 2003
Forget the cosmopolitan. Set aside the mojito. A new drink has emerged on trendy Las Olas Boulevard since restaurants were forced to ban smoking -- the nicotini.
Call it a liquid cigarette because this drink comes complete with the nicotine rush and tobacco aftertaste found in a pack of Camels. These tobacco-spiked martinis are being served up for die-hard smokers who don't want to leave their barstools and go outside to light up.

LOL! Nicotine used to be used as an insecticide - in fact, it was a staple in early mystery novels, where somebody was always being done in by an old lady using the nicotine solution she normally sprayed on her potato bugs.
Personally, I say it's better and a lot more fun smoked.

...I say it's better and a lot more fun smoked."Same here. When I was a liquid, I drink, when I was a cigarette, I want to light up & smoke.

Say whatever happened to smokeless tobacco? The kind you know, you chewed up rather than puffed out.

I only slightly recall the smokeless stuff. All one had to do is chew a cigarette.

Jakarta Kretek and gin & tonic. Four toxins, but generally no symptoms from the juniper berries. The clove makes your lips tingle and is an excellent flavor combination with gin.

Awesome. Now if they put some Viagra in it, this will outsell Coca-Cola.

One doctor I heard of was weaning a group of people off of smoking. He took a couple of packs of cigarettes and distilled all the nicotine from them. Then he took the group to a slaughterhouse where he put the nicotine into syringes and injected it into a couple of old broken-down nags.
Each horse keeled over and died before he'd completed the injection.
