What Does My Urine Test Report Indicate?
Question: I need to pass a nicotine urine test.... in 3 days how can I do this and does detox flushes work
Brief Answer:
No they don't and there is not a great way...
Detailed Answer:
The nicotine break down product stays for quite a while. It's got like a 20 hr half life. so, half is there at 20 hrs, 1/4 at 40 and about 1/10th by the time of the test. The test is very very sensitive so 1/10 is still quite a lot. You can drink water and dilute it by about half but more than that will show as a non-diagnostic urine.
Wow, they don't allow even nicotine replacement?

No they wont. Do detox drinks work?
Brief Answer:
nOT A BIT
Detailed Answer:
The oiliness of the drug in this case makes masking it quite hard. It is very sticky. It is in large amounts. You won't get rid of it short of doctoring the urine directly (like bleach).

How long do I have to quit smoking to eliminate the nicotine only?
Brief Answer:
They dont' test for nicotine
Detailed Answer:
which gives the effect of the cigarette. When you feel like it has run out.... that's when the NICOTINE has run out. Hours with an insensitve test. about .. what... 1-2 days til it's totally gone? There's variablity in people, for YOU, you would know better than I do how long nicotine stays in YOU.
But when you think it's really gone... taht's the nicotine is gone. It breaks down to a bigger stickier longer lasting substance COTININ which is what they actually test for .
