Why doesn’t N cause vomiting like SN?

[foreveralone]

Obviously an antiemetic is necessary irrespective of your method to ensure success, but why is it that you can drink a lethal dose of N and not vomit, but drinking SN will almost certainly result in vomiting regardless of antiemetics?

My chosen method is N for various different reasons, but I'm curious that nausea seems to be a non-issue with N despite being poisoned with a lethal dose of a drug.

Is it the fact that N is actually a 'medicine' that has a direct physiological effect rather than a salt which can't be processed in any way by the body?

Where does this statement come from ?

I think it's because the same amount of N will comprise of less sodium than SN

Yeah, I agree. Our stomachs are made to handle acid. Lest we forget the acid our stomachs natively use to digest food. N is a weak acid. Granted, not all acids are the same but an acid is more familiar to the stomach than salt. If you want to vomit a glass of salt water will do it. This is a commonly known way of causing vomiting fast. I remember being told this as a child (for some reason) and more recently remember seeing it echoed in the plot of a Bond film (where Bond was poisoned and needed to void his stomach). As SN is a salt it makes sense it would have the same effect to one extent or another.

Edit: never mind.
