A piece of cigarette contains approximately 5 to 10 milligrams of nicotine. And in an average cigar the nicotine content is 100 to 200 milligrams, but others have as high as 400 milligrams of nicotine which is quite hazardous to human life.
It is always safe to see the nicotine level marked in the cigarette pack. It is advisable not to smoke but even if you smoke try to smoke cigarette which has low nicotine level. In many developing countries, cigarette manufacture never put nicotine level which is not good for smokers.
Do you know that four or five piece of cigarettes have enough nicotine which can kill an average adult if the same nicotine is ingested/eaten whole.
Now you must wonder why people don’t die instantly if it has so much nicotine. The thing is, when people smoker approximately one to two milligrams of nicotine per cigarette is taken in the body, the remainder is burned off.
