Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nicotine is a highly toxic substance and the lethal dose for an adult is estimated to be between 30-60 milligrams. Therefore, the perpetrator would only need to use 60 milligrams of nicotine to cause their victim's death. Using a larger quantity such as 1 gram or 10 grams could be overkill and might make the death unrealistic in the context of a murder mystery novel.
