I wish you luck. Failed a blood test about 37 days after last smoke. Zero nicotine use or replacement. Zero prescriptions. Don't really smoke either but had a couple packs that week but probably only smoked 5 packs total in the year prior. Haven't even been exposed to second hand smoker. I work out doing cardiovascular 4 times a week. I eat very well and plenty fluids. Had to have been false positive. Didn't do anything special because even a heavy smoker should pass a cotinine test after 15 to 20 days. Perhaps my body does filter or process nicotine or cotinine normal. Currently been 2 months and probably still get 15 to 20 cravings a day. So annoying. Grew up in a house where father smoked inside pack a day. Smoked a pack a day 18 yo to 37 yo and then quit with the rare smoke.

To add to the above, I am 40 yo now. Considering paying to have separate test done. Not that a second test will help anything since there is no do-over but perhaps piece of mind.

Smoking inhibits blood flow so it's a healing issue. Elective surgery such as plastic surgery most doctors do test. They of course want the best possible outcome and since it's elective they don't have to do it.

Many states now say that a company cannot discrimiate because of nicotine. It is a legal drug like alcohol. You need to check out what your state says and go to the labor board.

For surgery only because cotinine slows healing. And now most doctors refuse to operate on a smoker. Its mainly due to all the wrongful death/ malpractice lawsuits. Im being tested june 7th 2016 for my gastric bypass. I've been smoking for 22 years and quit cold turkey. Im having this surgery to save my life. A tube of paper and dried leaves is not worth an early trip to the grave. Live life and be happy! I pray for all of you. Have a blessed life and day!

Good New for all who are awaiting for there Nicotine test for pre employment.
I had stopped Smoking on 05/13 . Before that I used to smoke almost 1 pack ( 20 cig Malboro 100 ) in a day. I ordered COT Kit from Amazon and Today ( 05/18 ) I tested my self the COT test ( Urine ) for Nicotine and it came negative….
So I was completely 6 days without cig, Drank water and Orange/Cranberry juice daily and got the result.
So don’t worry..inspite of being a heavy smoker, I was able to acheive the negative result in 6 days.. Still I have few days left for my actual nicotine test, I am confident for this,

If it were that easy to quit I believe people would , cigarettes are as addictive as herion and they are designed to be that way don't judge until you've been there yourself. It's good that you are trying to get your kid to quit smoking but just because someone is adicited to a legal substance doesnt make them a horrible person. As far as surgery I have know people to go down to Mexico to have the surgery because they kept slipping up with the smoking , the people I've known that did that would have died soon being that over weight , once they got the weight down from the surgery and they were feeling better about themselfs they ended up quiting the smoking too ,don't judge until you've been there yourself. Surley you're not perfect yourself and it wouldn't be productive to say your 16 year old smoking is your fault! That would be unkind to say and more then likely untrue. You're best bet on getting your kid to quit smoking probably isn't the testing, probably would do better to have a non parental mentor or counselor that they like and feel comfortable with. Usually at that age a kid needs a non parent role model to have a influence. Teens don't particularly want to be like their parents.

Take vitamin b tablets while flushing your system. This will give your urine a yellowish color. It won't change the urine specific gravity, but at least your urine won't be clear.

Totally agree with you, At the beginning, I am worrying about pass a insurance test and stopped smoking for two days. Now, I am thinking to quit permanently. Thanks for your notice of " a lie catches up with you eventually". Really appreciate that! God bless.
