This is field survival manual, meant as a last resort for situations when you’re miles from civilization and neither a pharmacy nor a medic are available.
Of course there are better options out there.

I mean, nicotine is a nature pesticide made by tobacco plants. It’s kinda the same with capsaicin and humans love that shit. In a life or death situation this would probably be preferable to dying, at least.
Realistically this is probably an older manual and shouldn’t be followed to the letter. You should not be eating less than 2 cigarettes a day.
No, seriously, don’t eat cigarettes.

Yeah but I just wanna eat cigarettes. They make my mouth all tingly.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 5 days ago
In that case, I would suggest picking up some chewing tobacco or maybe some snus.
Oh, and don’t swallow.

Capsasian tickles on the other end when it is done.
Little bonus.

Did you know your anus has taste receptors?
You’re welcome.

It can’t discern flavors, just tingles a bit.

Btw for the capsaicin thing. It’s one of the going theories for why warmer places all around earth tend to traditionally eat much spicier foods than colder places. Food spoils faster in the heat, and the spice both masks the spoilt taste and can help, or is thought to help, cleanse you of parasites.
(I know spicy plants don’t grow in colder places, too, but the tendency holds for colder regions that would have had access to hot plants)

Not rather keep the food longer edible by killing bacteria & fungus?

Vomiting won’t get them out. If when you vomit you’re bringing up matter from where they live then you’ve got much bigger problems than just a worms infection.
