Why don't you start by leaving the bottles out in the sun? UV light accelerates decomposition. I've also read that heat and elemental selenium will destroy nicotine.
You could also add an acid to precipitate into nicotine salt, which might be easier to deal with. Pick an acid such that the resulting salt is insoluble in whatever the carrier liquid is (water? glycerol?). Then you have solid waste.
PLEASE don't play around with selenium.
