17th April 2010 .... EDIT to add - Apologies to anyone who found question #7 difficult.
* As a rough guide -
A single cigarette contains approximately 14mg of nicotine although after burning and loss through sidestream smoke around 1mg is delivered to the smoker.
In the UK, the Poisons Act 1972 currently allows trade of unlicensed nicotine of up to 7.5% concentration (75mg per ml).
Pure nicotine is available on the open market in the US
It's estimated that 10mg of nicotine delivered instantly can be fatal for a child and around 60mg is needed for an adult. People with tolerance to nicotine can take much higher doses without symptoms.
