I mean for dealing with worm parasites in the field, given limited supplies and (I'm assuming) this being a pretty old manual, this isn't too bad.
Basically instructions for forcing out the entire contents of your stomach or using something that is probably handy to kill them before they do too much damage to you.
I've actually done this once before, as I was briefly having belly issues and honestly couldn't eliminate the possibility of a parasite.
It made me feel a bit weird for a day or so, but not too bad really. It did slow my cigarette craving for a while too. It didn't outright evacuate my guts as you might assume, also apparently I didn't have any intestinal worms thankfully.
I think the way this is meant to work is that if you do have worms, the nicotine is supposed to shock the little demons into unclamping their jaws and basically evicting themselves.
I'd stand by this technique for survivalists in a pinch though.
It also paralyzes your cilia so it's not improbable (cilia are the little hairs that line your breathey tubes and rhythmically beat to push gunk up and out). It's actually why the smokers cough usually gets worse a few days after quitting then stays worse until you're finished hacking up all the built up tar. Your cilia wake up to your respiratory tract fucking trashed like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.
Just curious, is this true for smokeless tobacco too? I mean not the tar bit obviously, just the paralysing.
Honestly the research on exactly why this happens is sparse enough as it is. It's basically impossible to do truly conclusive studies with tobacco because of how dangerous it is. We can't even technically conclusively say that tobacco causes cancer because to truly scientifically assert that you'd have to do a randomized controlled trial.
To have a truly randomized controlled trial you would have to randomly select people from the overall sample and tell them to start smoking for the purposes of the study (otherwise you can't technically rule out there being some third thing that both causes the cancer and causes people to want to smoke). And because we know tobacco is insanely addictive and are all but that one millimeter short of proving that it causes cancer, no medical ethics oversight body would ever allow a study that requires participants to start smoking.
Oh absolutely, I'm glad we're not doing that. I don't get why there's so few statistical studies, like 'people who have been using (e.g.) chewing tobacco have x health stat compared to y in the general population'. It's frustrating, especially with how many young people are using snus and vapes in recent years. It's tough to make informed health decisions when the information is hard to come by.
Isn't there enough nicotine in a cigarette to kill a non-smoker if eaten?
No. But it will make you rather queasy.
I found it eased my belly to consume the cigarette followed by a couple glasses of V8 juice.
This is all I could think of...

Ah, the wonders of genetic engineering! Tomacco..
Now if only they would take theory into practice, but take THC and the other fun ingredients from weed and put the happy buzz chemicals into apples..
That would surely put a whole new twist on the idea of giving the teacher an apple...
Wtf. Why has this not happened yet?
I'd rather eat the cigarette than drink the V8.
Fine, more V8 for me haha! I actually like the stuff.
The mexicans and canadians put clam sweat into it and call it clamato and I just think it's all the more reason to build two walls.
Caesar > Bloody Mary
Iโd have a caesar
Clamato is horrid.
Well, if that's in any way true, then they must not do that here in the USA, as I'm allergic to shellfish, but have never had a problem with V8.
They do, it's just a different product. You'd know if you had a can of clamato vs normal V8.
Not even remotely close to it. Cigarettes have 10-12mg of nicotine and the LD50 for ingestion is around 6-13mg/kg.
And that's assuming that the nicotine in tobacco is as bioavailable as pure nicotine.
I weigh 1 kg though
If your chance of dying is 1% that's still pretty bad.
But your chance isn't even 1%.
Nah, not really. Sure it might make a non-smoker feel worse while it goes through them, one eaten cigarette isn't gonna kill an adult.
Now if it was the amount of nicotine out of an entire 20 pack, or someone being stupid enough to suck/chew on a daily nicotine patch, well that would be a different story.. ๐
If one does happen to have intestinal worms, well I think eating a cigarette is by far the lesser of the two discomforting evils...
No, the factoid is that there's enough nicotine in a single cigarette to kill you, if all of that nicotine got past your blood-brain barrier at once. Since that's more or less an impossibility, don't worry about eating one.
Wikipedia says the lethal dose is estimated to be 6.5 to 13 mg / kg of body weight. Following that, a cig couldn't possibly kill you. Probably not even when injected into a vein
Iโm pretty sure you would die if I injected a cigarette into your vein.

I think if you made a tea to concentrate the nicotine it'd do it. That's how I've heard it used as a poison.
Same for 4 tablespoons of salt in a quart of water. This will make you piss out of your asshole your body wants to get rid of it so fast. 30 mins of stomach gurgles, ten minutes of the most liquid to ever come out of your asshole since last you tried to boof a 6 pack, and then you're good to go.
You just conjured up a childhood memory. All I can say is you're not exaggerating lol.
the boofing part right?
The most liquid to come out of their ass since childhood.
I don't think I would even be able to drink that. As soon as it touches my tongue, my throat would clamp shut.
It most definitely doesn't taste good, but "it's super effective"
a handy mushroom called the "death cap" mushroom works particularly well too.
A little too well
