If it is theoretically assumed that the nicotine concentration in the liqueur would be exactly at the detection limit of the applied NMR method (0.24 mg/l), the consumer would ingest about 7 μg of nicotine per shot (30 ml). This exposure would be more than 10,000-times below the lethal dose of nicotine, which according to the most recent research is in the range of 0.5–1 g for orally ingested nicotine (Mayer, 2014). This exposure also would be considerably less than that from second-hand smoking (about 100 μg/day), and is in the range of nicotine exposure due to consumption of other foods that naturally contain nicotine, such as potatoes and tomatoes (BfR, 2008). In a risk assessment concerning nicotine-contaminated eggs, the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) has estimated that the occasional consumption of eggs containing up to 300 μg/kg nicotine (exposure about 19 μg/day) would not imply a health risk for consumers. Similarly, it can be deduced that the Perique liqueur would not imply a health risk even had it contained nicotine at the range of the limit of detection of this analytical method.
