Hi!

I talked with a chemsit a few days ago about the same problem. This is what
he supposed:
1. Nicotin does not like heat, 40-50°C is nice for the water. That temp
should not do any harm to the bricks.
2. Nicotin is a kind of oil. Adding vinegar to the water (1:5) is also
helpful.
leave in a covered bin over night and use rinse(?) well with water after a
day.
