Addictive, certainly. Toxic at normal doses? Evidence says no.

Carbon monoxide, tar, and tiny soot particles are very bad for you. Nicotine? Not so much.

Addiction is annoying as hell and I don’t recommend it. But let’s be accurate.

Which evidence? Before modern pesticides came along nicotine was used to fumigate greenhouses. Suggests to me that it must be fairly toxic.
