Will nicotine show up in a blood test


Yes, in very small amounts.

Yes, in very small amounts. Doctors normally look for Cotinine, which is what your body changes nicotine into. Cotinine is the metabolite of nicotine and according to the Foundation for Blood Research, it is found in the blood for about 7 to 10 days after you quit all nicotine containing products. If you are trying to quit smoking, the FBR says that it’s helpful to know your continine levels to see how successful your efforts to quit are. It also may help your doctor better design your treatment plan.
