I had to do a continine test to pass a pre-employment for a nursing position. I had 4 days to prepare and I was really sweating it. As soon as I knew I was getting tested I quit smoking immediately. Just to give you an idea I am 5"10 about 170lbs. Light smoker maybe 5-6 cigs a day and I passed the test. I'm unsure if they used blood or urine to test because they took both and I didn't want to ask which for obvious reasons.

Hi. I have a medical coming up. It's Monday today and I quit at 6pm Friday. I was smoking 6-8 per day. I made it as far as page 9 of this thread and saw more questions than answers and no real feedback after the test.
I am a man, age 48, 5'9 and 200lbs. I am drinking water now and putting the test off as long as I can without looking suspicious. Hopefully I can delay till after Easter.
Based on a couple of points and wiki I understand the cotinine threshold is 10 for a normal test and with a half life of 20 hours it all depends on the starting position. Wiki says up to 300 for a heavy smoker and 100 for a light smoker so if I cautiously say 200 I would expect to be ok by today (Monday) around 4 pm, down to 6.25 overnight.
Does this make sense to you guys? If obviously prefer not to be in this position and it's the prompt I needed to quit for good, just need to get through the test!!
And I promise to post up how I get on. Fingers crossed.

Ok so an update. I passed the test no problem (nervous though). So I had been on 4-6 a day for a number of years and went cold turkey 6pm Friday two weeks ago. Urine test just taken, Saturday morning, and it was fine.
So I can't add to the knowledge of whether people will pass in 3 or 4 days but I've seen posts saying it can be detected for weeks and that's clearly not the case.
Best bit is, I feel so much better and have no desire to smoke again.
Good luck to anybody in this position, try and bag yourself two weeks like I was able to, and use it as the opportunity to give up for good :)

You passed a blood test in 12 days? Wow... I have a month before I have to take mine and I am scared because they said I have to stop for 3 months or it will show up, and it has taken me until now to give up my cigarettes. Congrats on passing, I hope I can as well!

Good for you! I'm glad you said something, and I hope your son quits smoking. I cannot believe an adult would pay a CHILD for her urine. I also cannot believe that a PARENT would encourage such deceitful behavior in their own child. They should ALL be ashamed. Except that poor young girl. She's a victim. I hope these people get caught. Quitting smoking is hard, but I take responsibility for MY OWN actions. If I don't pass my test, it's MY own failure. NO ONE ELSE'S.
