What is it?
The tobacco cocktail is made from tobacco liqueur, a drink distilled from the strongest tobacco in the world. The dose of nicotine in this cocktail is said to be too low to be addictive. In addition, the cocktail contains no carcinogens, tar or cyanide. Substances that you do find in cigarettes.
