Nope, it’s a highly-toxic poison - apparently 500mg will kill an adult human.

Fatal dosage can kinda mean anything though, surely? Pure oxygen can kill a person. Water can kill a person. The right amount of literally every substance has the capacity to be fatal.

To get 500mg of nicotine into you that quickly, you'd have to basically drink a bottle of e-liquid.
