Cheriepye Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Has anyone ever heard of getting nicotine from Potatoes? The gal at the mall kiosk said all their nicotine was from potatoes so I looked it up. Sure enough from potatoes and tomatoes. When I tried her "Marlboro Lights" sample I swear it tasted just like potatoes. I think that would cut me off vaping right there.

mcquinn Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 That is one of the points made in support of nicotine ,it is a common compound we get in several forms and as such should not be subject to regulation.Caffiene is another . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Nicotine is also used as a pesticide, trace amounts are said to be left behind after production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Here is a break down for you Vegetable - Nicotine in ng/g - g per 1µg nicotine Cauliflower 16.8 - 59.5Eggplant (Aubergine) 100.0 - 10Potatoes 7.1 - 140Green tomatoes 42.8 - 23.4Ripe tomatoes 4.3 - 233.0Pureed tomatoes 52.0 - 19.2 1µg of nicotine is the equivalent of sitting in a smoke filled room for three hours. A cigarette contains about 7mg of nicotine, of which 1mg is absorbed. In other words, 100g of eggplant contains 0.01mg of nicotine, and 10kg of eggplant is equivalent to one cigarette. However, absorption rates from ingestion are low and nicotine is quickly metabolized, so the effect isn't nearly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffb Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 There may be nicotine in potatoes but I am highly skeptical that an e-juice manufacturer is soley using potatoes for their nic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
