Nothing could be farther from the truth!

Most insecticides are nicotine based. It would be like a human smoking an entire carton of Marlboro Reds in under one minute. If you are a non-smoker, try smoking one Marlboro Red cigarette in under 2 minutes...You will know what a bug feels like just before it dies

Most insecticides are not nicotine based; some are. However, the nicotine you mention comes from tobacco and you don't know what other compounds are in the tobacco.

Nicotine is highly toxic to mammals and humans are mammals.

I'm no scientist, but the majority of homeowners do not care what chemicals they use or how they use them or how often they use them. They see one bug a month and think they need a pest control contract.
Even worse than that are those who use pesticides as a preventive!

Absolute insanity!!!

And your point regarding a pack of Marlboro Reds? I don't know anyone who thinks about what a bug feels like when it dies.
