  Many plant-based drugs, including nicotine, originated as natural insecticides: the plant uses them to make itself poisonous to insects that would eat it.

  But impossible to overdose by voluntary inhalation. Just don’t eat, drink or inject lethal doses and you’ll be fine.

  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.
