Isn’t nicotine a dangerous substance?
Nicotine is an alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants. 40–60 mg pure nicotine can be a lethal dosage for adult humans. Nicotine therefore has a high toxicity. In low concentrations it is a stimulant. The average regular cigarette contains 14 mg of nicotine and yields about 0.8 and 1.2 mg absorbed in your body. REAL Smokefree filters contain less than a regular cigarette, about 2 mg, and yield 0.8 to 1.0 mg of nicotine. Nonetheless we need to advise you that nicotine is the main factor responsible for the dependence-forming properties of tobacco smoking and whether inhaled from REAL Smokefree or from a regular cigarette: nicotine is still nicotine.
