The lethal dose of potassium or sodium cyanide is 200 to 300 mg and of hydrocyanic acid is 50 mg. Effects begin within seconds of inhalation and within 30 min of ingestion.

Is cyanide used in cigarettes and where else can you find cyanide?

Cyanide is very poisonous. Cyanide is sold in a variety of forms such as granules, powder, paste or encapsulated cyanide pellet.This depends on the nature of the cyanide and its intended use. For example sodium cyanide used in manufacturing jewellery is a white powder. Cyanide in paste form used for pest control looks like a gel or paste. And yes cyanide is used in cigarettes, but the addicting substance is nicotine.The lethal dose of cyanide is approximately 0.5 - 1.0 mg/kg body weight or about 70 mg for an adult.
