Ohh wellst, if your friend said it about Foxy Shazam....

Although a typical cigarette contains from 9 mg to 30 mg of nicotine, inhalation through smoking is only about 0.5–2 mg per cigarette. The estimated toxic dose of nicotine in non-addicted adults is 4–8 mg, and the lethal dose after one-time ingestion among children is reported as 40–60 mg.

Legal high which killed 40 year old man after being put into mints is unlikely to be banned.

Replying to superhobo666 · I agree it shouldn't be banned. People should be taught the positive and negative usage of -any- common drug. Alcohol Nicotine/cigarettes Weed Caffeine Taurine etc.
