A member asked:

Help! i accidentally drank from a glass with 6 cigarette butts. i spat it out but it was in my mouth for a few seconds. should i be worried about nicotine poisoning?

Relax, the minimal exposure cited is not enough to be detected on a blood test, much less actually be toxic. Eat a nicotine vape and you may be in trouble.

No, I can understand why you are grossed out by this, but this will not cause you to have nicotine poisoning. You will be fine afterwards. Good luck.

It is apart of our Italian culture to have a glass of wine with dinner. Does this cause cancer? My grandparents lived until their 80s!! Now studies claim drinking causes cancer. And not even stopping reduces risk? Please clarify. Worried for health?
