Nicotine use, including
Nicotine use, including smoking, chewing tobacco and snuff, is easily detected with a simple urine test. Continine, the metabolite of nicotine, is found in the urine of a smoker during and usually anywhere from 2 to 4 days after their last cigarette, but it might be found much longer.
The people who might request a urine test to know whether or not you are using nicotine are school officials, to make sure you are in compliance with the school’s rules, insurance companies, to prove you qualify for the “non-Smoker” rates, and employers, who may just prefer to hire only non-smokers. If you are concerned about testing positive, it’s best to quit using tobacco. Develop a plan with your doctor that addresses all the social, emotional and physical reasons you smoke or chew and start quitting.
