Had doctor's appointment yesterday. Passed Cotinine test. Surgery scheduled next month.

Just to update everyone - I passed the urine test. Had doctor's appointment yesterday and was cleared for surgery. So, to repeat, I went 6 full days of NO SMOKING to pass. I did not drink an extreme amount of fluids or exercise excessively. I bought the cotinine test from Amazon and tested my urine every day. It was after 6 full days that it came back clear and I went and did my urine test.

The great stupidity of it all is that nicotine does not effect healing times. Though it may lead to an increased risk for clots, but that is to be expected with any type of surgery; and clots are taken care of readily with heparin or another anticoagulant. What they are doing is trying to manipulate you into smoking cessation, that way they can get a nice fat check from the feds for another patient being led away from cigarettes.

Truth is the vapor is considered just like cigarettes now. First of all fight the powers that be, light up in the bathroom of the hospital and then ask what the problem is. One great stupid thing, if I have a patient that needs marijuana, I let him/her smoke in room; if they need tobacco they have to leave the hospital with an IV pole and walk across the street to a bus stop.

I took a urine cotinine test, for a pre-employment screening, I had less than 48hrs to prepare, I smoke clove cigarettes, on average 3-4 per day, I drank approximately 5 glasses of water per day, and as much cranberry juice as I could stomach per day as well, I also ate lots of onions and garlic, and the night before I went to the gym, my employer called me 3 days after my test to confirm I'd past all pre-employment screening, hope this helps someone out there because I know I was panicked and stressed before and after the test, I read every blog/post there was on what to do, good luck!

HI.. IS THIS A 'URINE' TEST OR 'BLOOD' TEST ? I have a test for a job in a hospital.

And you actually think this is going to help your son quit/stay away from tobacco? You are a m***n.
My mom was like that with us kids on booze and drugs in the 60's - we all ended up with drug and alcohol problems. Prohibition, whether forced or coerced DOES NOT WORK.
Glad you aren't MY parent.

I agree! You can't even answer a simple question without ranting and raving! Thank God I didn't have parents like you; if I did I would probably be on drugs!

I was a pack a day smoker. I quit for 8.5 days before the test and I drank over 8 glasses of 8oz water a day and passed my employers cotinine blood test.
