Nicotine is an extremely potent poison and even minute amounts can kill.

It is absorbed through the skin and one has to be very careful in
handling it.
It does not degrade rapidly and  in many states it is illegal to use it
anywhere near  food plants
It is toxic to birds, fish, etc and those in turn will be toxic to other
animals that eat them.
In addition  you can transmit tobacco mosaic virus to tomato, potato
plants and others affected by this blight.
Incidentally, people have been sued and lost the suits when they ave
used this poison in their own gardens but have inadvertently poisoned
pets that wandered into their yards.
