    There is new information regarding the lethal dose of nicotine.
    Bernd Mayer. "How much nicotine kills a human? Tracing back the generally accepted lethal dose to dubious self‐experiments in the nineteenth century." Archives of Toxicology. Oct. 2013. DOI 10.1007/s00204-013-1127-0

    Prof. Mayer recommends updating nicotine's lethal dose to between 0.5 and 1 gram for the average person, approximately 15 times the previous value.
