For a young man of normal stature lethal dosage will be 5-6 ppm of ethanol detected in the venous blood. This can easily come to use one set more than three standard bottles of vodka. The human body to such a large intake of toxic substances can respond adequately, they will start uncontrollable vomiting that will contribute to partial purification.

From ethanol there are benefits. Despite the strong toxicity, it is an excellent antidote in case of intoxication of other alcohols – methanol and ethylene glycol.

Nicotine is not only in tobacco products. It is contained in sufficient quantities in potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes and big bell peppers. The substance that is in vegetables, harming the person brings, as there is negligible dose.

This substance is very toxic and poses a mortal danger not only to humans and warm-blooded creatures, but even for many insects. Individual sensitivity to nicotine all warm-blooded different. In rats the lethal outcome occurs when the intake of 50 mg per kilogram of body weight, in mice and 5.9 mg per kilogram, and people can die if the concentration is 0.5-1 mg per kilogram of mass. To understand how this tiny dose, it is possible to make a comparison with a known poison, cyanide. Him for murder by poisoning, it is sufficient only 1.7 mg per kilogram of weight.

When Smoking cigarettes the bulk of the nicotine is burned and decomposed to less toxic substances. Lovers to smoke and kill yourself slowly. But to die fast enough to smoke from more than a hundred cigarettes.
