PY - 2018 T2 - Poisoning & Drug Overdose, 7e AB - Nicotine poisoning may occur in children after they ingest tobacco or drink saliva expectorated by a tobacco chewer (which is often collected in a can or other containers), in children or adults after accidental or suicidal ingestion of nicotine-containing pesticides (eg, Black Leaf 40, which contains 40% nicotine sulfate), occasionally after cutaneous exposure to nicotine, such as occurs among tobacco harvesters ("green tobacco sickness"), and most recently after ingestions of nicotine-containing liquids used in electronic cigarettes. Nicotine chewing gum (Nicorette and generics), transdermal delivery formulations (Habitrol, Nicoderm, Nicotrol, and generics), and nicotine nasal spray, inhalers, and lozenges are widely available as adjunctive therapy for smoking cessation. Nicotine is found in various smokeless tobacco products (snuff and chewing tobacco), including compressed dissolvable tobacco tablets that look like candy. Alkaloids similar to nicotine (anabasine, cytisine, coniine, and lobeline) are found in several plant species (see "Plants"). Neonicotinoid insecticides (imidacloprid and others) are widely used both in agriculture and for flea control in dogs and cats.
