"Would it be safe to assume that your species does not consume any plants from the nightshade family? Nicotine is present in more plants than just tobacco, in fact nicotine is present in detectable quantities in the following vegetables: eggplant, tomatoes, and related species. "

It should be noted though that "dietary nicotine" while present typically doesn't survive the digestion process in most sapient species. Which is why I defined nicotine products as being products specifically for consuming nicotine. I don't want to classify eggplants and tomatoes in any regulatory category remotely similar to cigarettes or chewing tobacco.
