    I’m not sure bout that. I know they say it, but on many occasions I’ve taken 80+mg orally in a day. Lethal dose is supposed to be 60.

      Ld50 is usually in units per kg, so unless you are a pixie, 90 is well under that number.

      Remember that the ld50 is lethal for 50% of people (healthy adults? Something like that.)

        Ld50 is not something I knew about when I asked. I’ll pay more attention next time I see some info on it. I’m not abusing nicotine cessation products as much so my interest in researching it has waned.

        I’m learning more than I thought I would from this question.
