What are the chances of passing the nicotine test?
Patient: Hello, I recently quit smoking about 2 weeks ago, and have a pre-employment screening and nicotine test comming up for a new job next week. I was a moderate smoker (half a pack per day). What are my chances of passing the cotinine (nicotine) test? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. Nicotine stays in the body for 48 hours.Since you have already quit smoking since 2 weeks (more than 48 hours), you will mostly pass nicotine test without any trouble.Better not to restart smoking as it is very bad for health. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
