Smoking pub patrons looking for their nicotine fix may soon get it from their next glass of beer, not a cigarette.

A new beer has been launched in Germany which contains nicotine and 6.3 per cent alcohol.

Alcohol Healthwatch in New Zealand said drinking three 250ml cans was the equivalent of smoking three packets of cigarettes.

Alcohol Healthwatch director Rebecca Williams said the new beer was seen overseas as a way of getting around smoking bans in public places.

There was no sign yet of it being introduced in New Zealand.

In New Zealand smoking has been banned in public bars since December last year when the Smokefree Environments Act became law, forcing smokers in bars to go outside for a cigarette.

Ms Williams said Alcohol Healthwatch would oppose the introduction of beer containing nicotine.

She said she did not know the effect of mixing nicotine with an alcoholic beverage.

"To me it seems crazy but I guess some people have a need."

Alcohol Healthwatch had opposed mixing alcohol with drugs and additives, including caffeine and guarana, a Brazilian energy extract which contains caffeine.

She said alcohol was a depressant and the other drugs and additives were stimulants and the impact on users was not well known.

Crazy stuff

0.o So people can become addicted to drinking and 'smoking' at the same time. GREAT!

1 can is one pack of cigarettes?!?!

That's a lot of nicotine isn't it? Do people usually smoke a pack for each beer?

In Washington State it was just recently voted in as well:

"The measure bans smoking in buildings and vehicles open to the public and in places of employment, including within 25 feet of doorways, windows and ventilation openings. "

Pretty strict but needed. Most smokers I know voted for it as well...

I wonder if it will have as much success as caffeine-"enhanced" water.

If each can is equal to a pack of cigs, wouldn't you pretty much vomit blood after 2-3 cans in an hour?
