Well...all things in moderation. The sickness I imagine comes from the nicotine. While it's fairly harmless in low doses, in large quantites it's a powerful poison. Tons of insecticides re made with nicotine. But hey...you know what else is extremely widely used in small doses and fatal in large ones? Flouride. It's in your drinking water but it's also the main ingredient in many rat poisons. As an added bonus, prolonged heavy exposure to it will give you severe bone curvature problems. And take that anti-microbial dish soap that's all the rage these days. The chemical found in many brands, when combined with chlorinated water and sunlight, creates chloroform, which is a carcinigen. It's also great for knocking people out in movies.
Did I just compare nicotine to drinking water and dish soap? You bet your ass I did.
