Add a long sleeve shirt, gloves, eye protection & paper mask if you haven't been around tobacco before (just don't go washing your hands with the stuff or drenching yourself with it & you'll be fine as far as nicotine toxicity goes.)
The sprayer can be re-used for foliar fertilizing, if you have any need or desire to use that technique.
I would have no problem using a sprayer like that to hold drinking water after just a quick rinse; the stuff just isn't that toxic (to humans) in concentrations that tiny.
