Believe me - I know that, which is why I have been bringing it up for years. I get hit with ridiculous quantities of those veggies that must be eaten to equal the nicotine content of one cigarette.
My buddy Lockjaw has done extensive work on the issue of testing for nicotine, which actually can't be tested for - it is a by product of nicotine - serum cotinine - that I believe what is tested.
lock, old buddy - can you help me out here????
>>> I get hit with ridiculous quantities of those veggies that must be eaten to equal the nicotine content of one cigarette.
Actually, that is comparing the plant fruit to the plant leaves. The fruit doesn't have the same amount as the leaves. BUT, the leaves of the nightshade plants all have high levels of nicotine. You could smoke tomato plant leaves!
If someone was to do a test for alkaloids, whether you had a cigarette of a tomato salad, you would test positive.
